Tyler:
Any other racquetball players here?

Years ago, in my twenties, I played a lot. I was pretty damn good too. I played about 4 days a week for several hours each day. I did get my ass handed to me by a Friend that was a professional player.

Tyler:
Nice!  I play about 3 to 4 days a week now.  I used to play at the Open/Pro level, but after not playing for 7 years I'm playing at the A/Elite levels.

Mikekoz13:
When I played my Friend that was a professional, I had trouble finding a game that was competitive at the club where I went. There were a lot of good players there but over the course of a couple years I passed their skill levels.

Then my Friend, who was not a member there, showed up one day, randomly, looking for a game. So we played. He wiped the entire court with my ass.
I realized that I was good but I had a long way to go. My friend even said I had real good skills and was a good player but I needed to play more!! There was no more time to play more!! So I went back to kicking everyone else's asses and left the professionals alone.

Tyler:
You were probably playing at the A/AA level at that time.  (Levels have changed in the recent years).  It's amazing the difference between A/Elite and Open/Pro.  There's no room for error at that level.  Everything is crisp and fast!  That was in my early 20's when I was willing to dive to get a ball that was otherwise unreachable.  Now my body says, "DON'T THINK ABOUT DIVING!"
