75. Dr Doug Rowles & VAIR+ Pickleball Accident Insurance

In this episode Paddy talks to Dr Doug Rowles, an orthopaedic surgeon, about the most common serious injuries in pickleball and how to avoid them.

They talk about various things including the importance of the warm-up before you play. Paddy describes how at the English Open (largest indoor tournament in the world with 3,500 players) he saw very few people warming up and was surprised at this lack or preparation. They discuss why this is and repeat the importance of warm-up to prevent injuries, especially in senior players.

They describe and talk about VAIR, an alternative free rating system, and VAIR+ with its video analysis (where you send in your own video from your phone and get analysis for you and your other three pickle buddies), amazing discounts for pickleball gear and holidays and their latest inclusive offering from Dr Doug - on-court accident insurance.
