Now, you may think I spent majority of my teenage years in the 80s based upon this post, but no, all but like 1 of my teenage years were spent in the 90s! I just needed to get that out of the way.

Anyways, my good friend Chris introduced me to playing Racquetball last year. While I have heard of the sport forever, I had never actually given it a go. My uncle Fred always talked about it when I was growing up, but it was always one of those old man things in my head (sorry Fred… you old fogie!)

So, it was around October of 2006 and Chris finally dragged my butt to the local rec center and got me playing. My first couple games i sucked really badly! I was constantly swinging the racket way too damn hard and had zero technique or any kind of Racquetball strategies.

Anyways, one thing led to another and we started playing weekly and I got pretty damn good after a while. I actually beat Chris quite frequently! If you haven’t given racquetball (not racketball) a shot, I highly suggest you do. The court is long, the ball is bouncy, and it gets your sweat and adrenaline running like no other game with a racket!
