Q&A

Start in Racquetball: When I was young, my father registered my sister and I in racquetball.

Reason for playing: I like the feeling of competition, speed, endurance and self-discipline.

Training habits: It depends on each day. When I’m with my coach Rino, we start by hitting balls and then play games.

Best Racquetball moment: My 2nd place win in doubles at the Junior World Championships in Mexico.

Non Racquetball talents: I am also a good soccer player.

When you are not playing racquetball, you are probably? Studying, training or relaxing at home when I have the time.
