Fountain of Youth Podcast Launching with Pickleball Legend Steve Paranto
Pickleball Hall of Famer Steve Paranto is set to launch a new podcast - the Fountain of Youth Pickleball Podcast. As Paranto shared in an introductory video about the upcoming podcast, "You couldn't have a better name for the sport of pickleball."
Indeed, pickleball is a sport that seems to keep its players feeling youthful and energetic, no matter their age. On the podcast, Paranto aims to share tips and advice to help pickleball players improve their games and overall wellness.
Sharing Wisdom to Help the Average Player
Paranto expressed his goal of helping the average pickleball player get better at the sport (0:29). After 30 years as a physical education teacher and health instructor, Paranto feels he has a wealth of knowledge to share. On the podcast, he plans to offer instructional tips and strategies so that players of all levels can enhance their skills.
Offering Guidance for Senior Players
A significant focus will be on senior players (0:56). Paranto acknowledged that as he approaches 70 years old, pickleball has been instrumental in keeping him feeling decades younger. He observed that pickleball players tend to have greater longevity compared to average lifespans. By sharing advice on topics like mobility, injury prevention, and proper warm-ups, Paranto aims to help senior players continue playing safely and effectively.
Providing Instruction for All Ages
While seniors are a key demographic, Paranto confirmed instruction will be provided for players of all ages (1:29). Given his experience as a physical education teacher, Paranto feels comfortable offering direction on fundamentals, techniques, and pickleball "etiquette" for those newer to the sport. He realizes many players at his club only started playing within the last two years, so his guidance can help them progress faster.
Emphasizing Efficient Movement
One instructional focal point will be efficient movement on the court (1:54). Paranto will share recommendations for senior players on how to move well so they can play for extended periods without getting injured or exhausted. He noted the importance of proper warm-ups, cooling down, and using precise mechanics.
Giving Players a Head Start
Paranto's tips aim to give pickleball players a "head start" (2:23). He doesn't want anyone to waste time learning the wrong techniques and having to correct them later. Paranto has seen many seniors improve rapidly after just one lesson on proper mechanics and strategy. He believes the timely guidance on his podcast can help people "get better fairly quickly."
With pickleball's popularity skyrocketing, particularly among middle-aged and older adults, Paranto's Fountain of Youth Pickleball Podcast aims to provide both instructional and inspirational content. Paranto clearly has a passion for sharing his decades of experience to help pickleball players improve their skills while also enhancing their health and wellbeing.
Judging by the sincere and knowledgeable tone Paranto displayed in the introductory video, listeners are sure to find motivating and engaging discussions on the podcast. For any pickleball player looking to boost their game or anyone curious about getting started, the Fountain of Youth Pickleball Podcast will undoubtedly be a go-to resource.
