Stay On The Court
Join our community of aging basketball players exchanging ideas on staying healthy to "Stay On The Court" (https://stayonthecourt.com/) and continue playing and coaching the sports that they love.
Welcome to "Stay On The Court," the essential podcast for the aging athlete who refuses to let the game go. Hosted by Troy Wallace, a 52-year-old basketball enthusiast, this podcast is your ally against time, championing health and fitness for those who've traded full-court sprints for a smarter, strategic approach to staying active.
Troy understands the dread of sidelining injuries and the passion that drives weekend warriors to lace up their sneakers despite them. He's not just a host; he's a fellow player, a parent, and a relentless seeker of the "minimum effective dose" of exercise that yields maximum results.
"Stay On The Court" is where the camaraderie of pick-up basketball meets the wisdom of medical professionals. It’s where stories of torn ACLs and the fight to bounce back inspire, and where practical advice on managing sprains and strains meets real-life tales from the court.
In each episode, you'll find:
- Injury of the Week: Gripping, sometimes humorous stories from our community. From the infamous $1000 elbow to epic cramps, these tales resonate with anyone who's felt the pang of a sports injury.
- Aging Gracefully: Interviews with seasoned athletes who've found the secret to longevity in sports. If you've ever been awestruck by an octogenarian outperforming you, these insights are gold.
- The Experts' Bench: Conversations with medical experts, youth coaching gurus, and former professional athletes. Ever curious about life after the NBA? We've got the answers
Whether you're balancing coaching duties for your kids' teams or just looking to extend your time on the court, this podcast is your playbook. From preventative tips to post-injury care, from fitness hacks to inspiring stories, we're here to ensure you keep enjoying the game you love for years to come.
