Pickleball is a passion. It’s fast, social, fun—and for many of us, it’s a lifestyle.

But somewhere along the way, you may have heard the advice:

“You’re getting older, maybe it’s time to slow down…”

Here’s the truth:

You don’t need to play less as you age.

You need to prepare your body better.

💥 Why Injuries Happen as You Age

Most injuries aren’t caused by playing too much.

They’re caused by a gap between two things:

⚖️ 1. The Demands of the Sport

Pickleball requires:

✔️Quick side-to-side reactions

✔️Rotational core control

✔️Repeated knee and shoulder use

✔️Sudden stop-and-go bursts

🏋️♂️ 2. Your Body’s Capacity

This is your ability to handle those demands — through strength, mobility, stability, and recovery.

Injury occurs when the demands of the game outweigh your body’s capacity to absorb, stabilize, or recover from them.

🧠 So, What’s the Real Solution?

It’s not about avoiding the game…

It’s about building a body that’s ready for it.

Here’s how you do that:

✅ 1. Build Supportive Strength

You don’t need a barbell or fancy gym. You need movements that stabilize joints and reinforce movement patterns.

✔️Split Squats- Helps with knee control, hip balance, and single-leg strength - exactly what you need for lunges and lateral pushes.

✔️Resistance Band Rows- Supports shoulder health and posture, preventing common overuse injuries.

✔️Plank with Shoulder Taps- Builds core stability and upper body control — key for quick reactions and protecting your back.

🌀 2. Prioritize Recovery as Training

Recovery is where your body actually gets stronger — not during the workout, but after.

Recovery tools that make a difference:

✔️Dynamic cooldowns after matches

✔️Foam rolling + mobility routines

✔️Dedicated off days with structured active recovery

✔️Sleep + hydration (don’t overlook the basics!)

📈 Think of Your Body Like a Bank Account

Every match, sprint, and shot you take is a withdrawal.

Strength, mobility, and recovery? Those are your deposits.
