Episode Description: Herb Livsey — Denver Nuggets Scout & 90-Year-Old Pickleball Coach

In this inspirational episode of Pickleballers Next Door, we interview the legendary Herb Livsey — longtime Denver Nuggets scout, basketball mentor, and a 90-year-old pickleball coach who continues to teach and inspire athletes every single day.

Herb Livsey has spent decades shaping the NBA by scouting elite talent for the Denver Nuggets. His eye for the game, his passion for player development, and his decades of experience have made him one of the most respected scouting figures in the league.

But Herb is more than basketball.
At 90 years old, he is still actively teaching pickleball, bringing his energy, knowledge, and love for sport to players of all ages. His commitment to movement, community, and lifelong learning is nothing short of remarkable.

In this episode, Herb shares:

• His journey through basketball and what it takes to scout true NBA talent
• Stories from his decades with the Denver Nuggets
• How he stays sharp, active, and motivated at age 90
• Why pickleball has become a passion — and why he teaches it
• His mindset on aging, discipline, and living a life filled with purpose and activity

This is one of the most uplifting and motivating conversations you’ll hear — a celebration of longevity, sport, wisdom, and passion. Herb Livsey proves that age is simply a number and that greatness can continue at any stage of life.

Also in this episode of Pickleballers Next Door, we chat with Donovan from Mint Sports about building high-performance pickleball gear, paddle design innovation, and what sets Mint apart in the fast-growing pickleball world. A quick, insightful look into one of the sport’s rising brands.
