Through sports, Milligan’s team is overcoming ageism they face in their older years… and racial injustice they experienced in their youth. Through training, participants learn that it’s never too late to dream.

Derrick Milligan's team -- which ranges in age from around 18 to 88 -- gives seniors a chance to excel at sports. It’s a chance many of them — due to racial and gender barriers when they were in school — didn’t have. Now, through Chicago-based organization Team Dream, they do. Milligan’s team is overcoming ageism they face in their older years, and racial injustice they experienced in their youth.

Reset talks with Coach Milligan and one of his senior triathletes about what Team Dream is all about.
