Welcome the New Year by making a racquetball resolution.
Here are a few ideas on what you can resolve to do:
• Play racquetball at least one more time a week. Personally I think this is the best resolution for any racquetball player. Maybe you can find a new opponent who will present you with a challenging game. Maybe someone you already play with is also looking for more play time each week.
If you don’t think you’re up for another racquetball session then start with an extra game, work up to two extra games, and then you may be ready to play another hour or so eventually each week.
• Bring someone new to the racquetball court. Have a friend who is always complaining about not getting enough exercise? Have them try a gentle game of racquetball. Make sure they have the proper footwear and eyewear before entering the court. If you want them to come back to the court then be kind as you show them how to play.
• Liven up your game with a different color ball. Always play with a green ball, try pink. Black your favorite color; change it up with a green. Ektelon is scheduled to come out with two-color balls this month, January 2015. The story I found about the new balls show red and blue as the colors, but there are pictures of other colors in a promotional piece at the bottom of the story. This may be a good choice for something different in your game.
• Your 2015 racquetball resolution may not be any of these, but whatever it may be, have fun on the court as you get your exercise and enjoy the conversation outside of the court.
And a toast to more racquetball in 2015:
