Why Pickleball Players Get Hurt (and How to Stop It)

What a conversation this was! I sat down with Carlos Reyes and Dr. Henry Klein from the Reyes Performance Institute and we dove deep into the connection between physical therapy, sports performance, and longevity in pickleball. We hit everything from wrist and shoulder mechanics to what the future of injuries in the sport might look like, and I walked away knowing I’m training smarter because of these two. The insights in this episode are huge whether you’re a pro, an amateur, or just someone who wants to play longer without breaking down. We cover warm-ups that actually matter, cross training for overall athleticism, how new paddle tech changes the injury landscape, and even dive into some fun tools like Blaze Pods and other tech that sharpen reflexes. I can honestly say these guys have rebuilt me from the ground up, and I wanted to share that knowledge with all of you.

We explore tools like Blaze Pods, force plates, and Dynamo tech that give players objective data to measure improvement.
