“What do I want to be today and what do I want to be when I’m 90?”

In this episode, Troy Meadows sits down with Jordan Battaglia, a former college football player turned entrepreneur, coach, and co-founder of PlayOn Relief.

What starts as a conversation about pain relief quickly turns into a deeper dive into performance, durability, and what it really means to train for the long game.

Guest Spotlight:

Born and raised in San Diego, Jordan grew up immersed in sports and eventually played college football at Pomona College.
Initially on the path to law school, his journey shifted after a family business setback and a pivotal back injury during his final football season.
That injury led to the creation of PlayOn Relief, a natural, long-lasting pain relief solution built from his family’s original pharmaceutical technology.
Now a coach with nearly a decade of experience, Jordan focuses on helping athletes build strength, improve mobility, and stay active for life.

Key Takeaways:

Solve your own problems first. Great ideas often come from real need
Longevity matters more than short-term gains. Train for who you want to be at 90
Consistency beats intensity when it comes to strength and mobility
Small habits, even 5 to 10 minutes a day, can lead to big performance gains

Key Topics Covered

The origin story of PlayOn Relief and its delivery system
Why most pain relief products fall short
Strength training for ultra runners and why it matters
Mobility as a missing link in endurance performance
Simple exercises to improve joint health and durability
