Health, Fun & Fitness (BP1)

Hi! My name is Krys Brightwell and I’ve played racquetball, at different levels, for about 30 years now. I fell in love with the sport when I was in my teens and still love it today. I played a lot during my time in the military and that’s where I honed most of my skills, leading me to win two State Championships in the B category and several local tournaments in the A category. Splat Racquetball is a place for us to discuss what we like about racquetball and also what we don’t. I’ve read many articles stating that racquetball is an excellent sport for creating & maintaining fitness and helping lose weight, if you need too. I can certainly testify to how grueling the sport can be. Since Americans are gaining and average of one and a half pounds of fat each once they start adulthood, this can have a serious effect on our health. We must find ways of keeping our weight in check and I maintain that playing racquetball 4 to 5 hours a week can help us do just that. We’ll be exploring those claims and others closely related to them in this blog.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. — Winston Churchill
