and be match ready as soon as you're get on the court.
Richard Brice spent 17 years in chronic pain before he figured out what was driving it — and it wasn't weak muscles or tight hamstrings. It was his brain. Richard joined me on Insider's Playbook to break down why most senior tennis players over 50 are fighting a nervous system that's trying to protect them — and what that means for every ache, every flare-up, and every time you've limped off court convinced something was broken when nothing was. If tennis elbow, back pain, or nagging joint pain keeps pulling you off court, this one's worth your time.
