In a perfect world.

Sometimes you just have to believe in what you believe or nothing will change. Anyone who is reading this blog knows of my promotion in Ektelon. Anyone who knows racquetball it is not for the money(there is none) lol. I have heard from so many players from years ago about how great this sport used to be. It must still be pretty special you old bastard,you are still playing I say. Do we have the number of people playing as years ago,approx 20 mil; and today 6.5 million today,no. Do we have the big prizes,no. The professional million dollar contracts,no. But I have some positive no's, if that is possible. Do we have to play tournaments until 4 in the morning,no. Do we have to pay for court time,no. Do we have to wait forever for a court,no. Do we wear those goofy 70's shorts, no. Finally do we have to play with those hammer heavy,shoulder tearing,skull crushing racquets, NO. So there is a perfect world for racquetball. We are in the infancy to build it to where it deserves to be. It is bigger than all of us, It is something I love and will not let diminish. So I invite anyone reading this, do something for the sport you love, besides complaining about lighting or other issues on court conditions. Build the sport and show the owners a reason to invest in, and keep the courts alive. Grab a junior, a newbie. Do whatever it takes. I am taking on extra responsibility for my passion,will you ?
