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. Key TakeawaysWhy pain and injury are not the same thing — and why that matters every time something hurts on courtThe real reason modern technique causes so many shoulder, elbow, and forearm problems in senior playersHow your balance system is secretly driving most of your back, knee, and foot painThe one daily habit Richard says does more for joint health and injury prevention than anything elseThe simple head-tracking drill that reveals exactly how compromised your balance system isWhy playing more tennis — even with strong gym muscles — can still wreck your tendonsThe coordination problem that causes most actual injuries, and why strength training alone won't fix it  Richard Brice – TennisHacker.netYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TennisHacker ⏱️ Chapters:0:00 — Show Preview & Introduction2:14 — Why Pain Doesn't Mean You're Injured5:14 — The Real Cause of Shoulder, Elbow & Tennis Elbow Pain7:29 — Why Volume & Off-Court Training Both Matter8:45 — How Your Balance System Creates Back, Knee & Foot Pain11:51 — The Head-Tracking Drill That Trains Your Balance System14:11 — The One Daily Habit That Protects Every Joint17:42 — Why Poor Coordination Causes Most Actual Injuries18:56 — Show Wrap Up
