👉 Take my 5-Day Match Ready Challenge: https://www.skool.com/senior-tennis-unpacked-8081

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.

Key Takeaways

• Why pain and injury are not the same thing — and why that matters every time something hurts on court
• The real reason modern technique causes so many shoulder, elbow, and forearm problems in senior players
• How your balance system is secretly driving most of your back, knee, and foot pain
• The one daily habit Richard says does more for joint health and injury prevention than anything else
• The simple head-tracking drill that reveals exactly how compromised your balance system is
• Why playing more tennis — even with strong gym muscles — can still wreck your tendons
• The coordination problem that causes most actual injuries, and why strength training alone won't fix it

Episode Description:

If you've ever dragged yourself onto the court the day after a grueling multi-match tournament day — singles, doubles, repeat — this episode is the debrief you needed.

Nathan Martin from Tennis Fitness returns for his third appearance on Insider's Playbook to break down exactly how competitive players over 50 should approach tournament preparation, in-tournament fueling, and post-match recovery. This isn't general wellness advice. This is a system built for senior players who are still competing hard.

Key Takeaways:

• How far out to start preparing — 6-10 weeks for a big one, 2-4 for smaller events
• Why training through smaller tournaments (instead of resting) can add 80-100 extra workouts to your year
• The simple bodyweight hydration formula every player should know
• What to eat before, during, and after matches (and whether a cold beer counts as post-match carbs)
• Why sleep and hydration are your two non-negotiables — and why sleep beats an ice bath every time
• The 20-minute nap rule and why you must set an alarm
• What to actually do the day after a heavy tournament weekend

You've spent years fixing your forehand, tweaking your footwork, and drilling your backhand — and you're still making the same mistakes. Richard Brice, vision and brain-based training specialist, makes an uncomfortable case: the problem was never your strokes. The problem is your visual system is declining, you're "hit and admiring" instead of recovering, and you're wiring your brain to look at bright screens four to five hours a day — then wondering why you can't judge a 60-mph ball.

We get into why watching the ball at contact is the last thing you should worry about, why your T-Rex forehand is a spacing problem not a technique problem, and what a string with a few beads on it can do for your game that no amount of drilling ever will.

Key Takeaways:

· Recovery beats vision every time. "Hit and admire" — watching your ball instead of resetting — is the #1 performance killer, and it throws everything that comes after it off.

· Late prep, bad spacing, and mis-timed swings are all vision problems. Those aren't technique issues — they're almost entirely driven by how well your visual system is functioning.

· Watching the ball at contact is the icing, not the cake. Djokovic has won more than anyone alive while already looking down the other end on half his forehands — fix the underlying problems first.

· Screen time is wrecking your visual system. Four to five hours a day on phones and TVs trains your eyes for up-close bright screens, not for reading a tennis ball — ten minutes of distance gazing a day is the counter.

· The Brock String is the one tool worth owning. A string with a few beads on it tests and trains whether your brain is fusing both eyes together — the foundation of depth perception and distance judgment on court.

· Vision training structurally rewires your brain in 8–10 weeks. An hour a week is enough to produce measurable changes that stick for months — three 20-minute sessions a week gets you there.

"So many of the best players in the world don't watch the ball at contact." — Richard Brice

"The number one problem for most players is not recovering after the previous shot." — Richard Brice
