In this special episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, host Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Coach Zach Zenios, creator of Ageless Shoulders, and Coach Andy Tzinberg, a seasoned pickleball instructor, for an eye-opening discussion about shoulder health and longevity on the court.

Together, they explore why pickleball has exploded in popularity—especially among players over 50—and the hidden toll it can take on your body if you’re not prepared.

You’ll discover what makes pickleball so addictive, the real reason so many players develop shoulder pain, and how small daily habits can make or break your performance. Coach Zach breaks down the concept of Frozen Blood Flow and explains why dynamic movement—not rest or ice—is the secret to lasting joint health. Coach Andy shares practical insights from his years coaching players of all levels, including smart warm-up strategies and techniques to avoid repetitive stress.

Stay tuned as the conversation dives into the power of Indian Club training and how the Ageless Shoulders program is helping players restore mobility, strength, and confidence—so they can keep playing the game they love, pain-free, for years to come.
