Description

Marriage and family therapist Dr. Jerry “Dr. J” Brinegar is a USA Pickleball ambassador, decorated senior competitor, and passionate teacher of adaptive pickleball for veterans with spinal cord injuries. He shares how the game brings purpose, community, and joy at every age and ability, and why fair age plus skill brackets matter for true competition. From teaching adaptive athletes to competing in national tournaments at 80+, Dr. J reminds us that you are never too old to play, to grow, or to make a difference on and off the court.
