Sidestepping racquetball players!!
This one is written before, during and after camps and lessons!
#1 thing I say at all camps. Be careful stepping to the side wall. A few years ago I worked with a top pro at a camp and they did the video analysis.
After the first day they said, “Is it me or am I saying the same thing to everyone?” My reply was,
“Welcome to my world!”
Most racquetball players just develop games based on their local competition. This means stepping to the side wall to return drive serves to the backhand side. This leads to poor habits during rallies which leads to poor shot selection which then falls to poor positioning and finally to poor mechanics which leads to injury which can lead to your racquetball career being over earlier than it should be!
Sorry for the run-on William Faulkner sentence! So-work on happier and more parallel feet and use your lower body to hit the ball! There, now you have had my camp minus the video analysis, telestration, camp fee and specifics of footwork and mechanics!
