Timing
Success
Fire
up the neurons & calm the nerves: Many
amateurs need to acquire patience, especially to step back and take
their time on setups. And when to fire up all the cylinders to rip away
with abandon, such as shooting on the
run.
JW is a case in point - he has increased his playing level because
he has practiced and played enough to be able to read a juicy setup is coming his way.
He apply Churchill patience and
step back and wait for the ball to drop, watch for his opponent’s
positioning, and rips the highest percentage shot possible in that given
situation.
T ime
outs:
The ebb and flow of a
racquetball game is called momentum. A measurable physical phenomenon.
If your opponent is hitting many drives winners and playing a super fast
game, then you must slow him down and hopefully cool him down with a
judicious time out. A time out not only serves as a time to rest, but a
time to reassess your game plan, reassess your adjustments, and re-focus
on playing one point at a time.
You gotta love the game to succeed:
If you want to really get
real good at this game, you gotta love the game to succeed. If you
don’t, where would you find the motivation to practice for months at a
time without finding an equal opponent to play with? Yes, internal
motivation is the long lasting gum that will hold your beautiful
racquetball game together and allows you to stretch into Open territory.
Many teenagers take up sports to impress their parents, friends, and
dare I say, the opposite gender, but these external motivations are
nebulous and fade away with time. Rather,
internal motivations, like a genuine enjoyment of the game, will take
you as far as you are willing to go.
