Exhausted? Try This Emergency Recovery Plan

And why Ben Johns is losing his grip on world #1

The world’s best athletes are starting to pick up paddles instead of rackets.

Novak Djokovic can see the writing on the wall… he knows tennis is in trouble!

In fact, if we look at Ben Johns’ match data, it suggests the talent level in Pickleball is exploding.

Ben is losing more matches than ever.

Did he get worse? We highly doubt it. 

The competition is just getting deeper and better - quickly.

Unlike many major sports, Pickleball is still “undiscovered” - from strategy, to technique, to off-court training and preparation, the top pros are still learning how to maximize their potential.

So keep looking over your shoulder Ben, the best is yet to come!

Did You Know? In 2023, Pickleball injuries accounted for up to 10% of unexpected medical costs in America, totaling nearly $400 million.

These are primarily non-contact injuries, highlighting how a lack of mobility is the catalyst for these excessive hospital visits.

10 minutes of mobility training per day can improve your performance and reduce the risk of a medical bill showing up in your Pickleball budget!

Pain & Injury Avoidance: Better mobility reduces the risk of soft tissue injuries, joint sprains, and fractures.

Improved Technique: When you can move freely, it’s easier to make technical adjustments to your game.

Increased Strength: More strength means more endurance for those long rallies and matches.

Better Recovery: Reduced strain on joints and muscles helps speed up your recovery time.

Ready to start your mobility training? The AIM7 app has mobility programs specifically designed to help Pickleball players reduce pain and move freely on the court.
