What is your warm up like? And can you give us any tips to help us warm up
properly and get ready for our matches?I like to keep
my warm up the same because we are all animals of habit. It is important to
develop and keep a warm-up routine that will warm up your body and not shock it.
I like to start out with some medium paced down the line
passes at the short line, then the dotted line and then the back corners.
I usually hit about ten on both sides, then I hit ceiling balls, pinches,
serves, and then I finish up with some light stretching.
I think it is important to hit some shots and/or get on some
machine to warm up before stretching. It may be detrimental to your muscles if
you stretch your cold muscles before warming them up properly.
I have watched you play, and you
seemed to have this game down to the basics. What is your secret?
Racquetball is a simple sport when you know the fundamentals,
like bending your knees, keeping your eyes on the ball all the way to your
target and back to your opponent, and the basic stroke mechanics. I suggest
getting a book and/or dvd and watching the professional matches. You will soon
discover that the pros just execute the basics to a very high level compare to
amateurs. So, to answer the question - the secret is understanding and executing
the fundamentals.
