As a 100% disabled veteran with pins in both my right shoulder and right wrist, being a right-handed player seems to always be a struggle for me.   Before I started taking lessons from Fran, I was barely a B-level player.  And after the first lesson with Fran when she broke down my basic skills I felt like I was a D-level player. I took to heart everything she said, then went and watched their video, read their new book and the things they were saying began to click.  Your book has become my racquetball bible.  I read and re-read chapters,

WPRO Pro National Champion.. CONGRATULATIONS Paola you deserve it! Paola finishes the season winning the last event of the season on May 13-15 – the WPRO Pro Nationals, a Grand Slam held in New Orleans, LA, against a fierce competitor, Rhonda Rajsich. This was a sweet victory for Paola as she lost to Rhonda in Stockton, CA, just 2 weeks prior in a very close 11-13 tie breaker. It was great to be there in New Orleans coaching Paola to a 3-0 final. There is no question in both our minds that her visit to Seattle for training the week

By day, I’m a mild mannered teacher, but around 6 PM and on weekends I become “Middle Aged Court Rat” Yes, that is my super hero name. I learned to play racquetball in college in the 80s, but that’s not where this racquetball story begins, because I played off an on for years, never getting better than a mediocre C player. Then 4 years ago I had the opportunity to change my life, move across the country from California to North Carolina, and focus on the things I’d always wanted to do. One of those things was to devote more
