Dr Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust are joined for a conversation with Steve Raymond, specialist in elder care and pickleball coach. We talk about oldishness in general, and specifically what Steve calls the Pickleball Paradox: Pickleball as a primary public health intervention, and also a source of potential injury to oldish players. He shares tips for preparation to avoid injury.
Steve is an RN with over 25 years in Elder Care, and HIV end of life care. He's also an accomplished martial artist, and one of the kindest people you'll ever meet.
