0:10
beach volleyball regular volleyball
0:13

0:15
um we played Wally ball it's volleyball
0:18
inside a racquetball court
0:20
um and pickleball and then golfing so we
0:24
never it's it's all year round something
0:27
pickleball is like a chess game
0:30
you just don't hit the ball you have to
0:32
figure out your opponents after maybe
0:34
one or two points
0:36
you have to figure out if they have any
0:37
weaknesses and strengths that's why you
0:40
see a lot of couples and mixed couples
0:42
talking in between serves they're
0:44
strategizing that and that's important
0:46
to go for the win
0:48
it's not just standing back and popping
0:50
the ball back over the net it it gives
0:53
you the adrenaline that you need and the
0:57
excitement for the day to make you feel
0:59
good about yourself
1:01
it makes you think okay the the reason
1:04
we took the long journey out here is
1:06
we're inspired with the game simply
1:08
because it's a game of activity it's and
1:12
it's something that we can play that's
1:14
uncomplicated
1:15
I'm 70 so I it's tough to really play
1:19
certain Sports I mean so uh after
1:23
playing for nine years and meeting the
1:25
friends and keep getting more and more
1:27
involved uh you know I always say what
1:29
turns me on is the actual game it's not
1:32
so much the outcome it's the actual
1:34
playing with friends out there it keeps
1:36
me inspired doubles that we tried and
1:39
we're good friends our our girlfriends
1:41
or good friends and they they thought we
1:43
should give it a shot this time and so
1:45
we did you know the other day we played
1:47
that's all I've been doing for nine
1:48
years since I retired I don't know how
1:50
to do anything else except pickleball
1:51
and hang out with good friends and eat
1:53
good food that's all I know
1:55

If you don't believe mankind is capable of defying gravity then you haven't met Ken Lacy (70-years-old) and his 68-year-old buddy Dale Charochak -- both native Pennsylvanians who spend their time playing pickleball, golfing, and weight-lifting among participating in additional sports too numerous to reference herein. Friendship + Pickleball = Longevity - yet another reason to live!
