As you get older things hurt. The wear and tear one has put on their bodies adds up.

For an extreme example, look at professional athletes. Drew Brees still had the desire and drive to play, but his right shoulder had simply given out. The final result of an injury over a decade ago. He cannot throw right handed anymore.

A lot of these guys require knee replacements after they retire. Permanently disfigured fingers and toes. Etc.

And we all go through a version of that.
