Mike Green

Start in Racquetball:  I was always involved in sports but racquetball was one sport that I could beat my dad at, so I liked it and kept at it. 

Reason for playing:   The special people that are involved in the sport and support the players.  I love the game and the power of hitting that perfect serve or shot, it pumps me.  

Training habits: I train twice a day – either hitting or in the gym and yoga.  Hydration, eating healthy, and getting great sleep.

Best Racquetball moment or memory:  Making the come back as National  Champion in 2008 after I was told that there was a new guard for the National Champion.  Taking the gold medal at the Pan Am Championship in 2012

Non – Racquetball Talents:  I am a listener.

When you are not playing Racquetball you are probably: Training, going to yoga, working on my house or spending time with my special friend. 

Advise for athletes who want to play at your level:  Train, train, train and then train some more.  Listen to your coaches – they have what it takes to get you to where you want to go. 

Who has been important in your developed as a racquetball athlete?  My parents have always supported me in playing.  Old team members – the bad boys of Ontario have been there and showed me the ropes. My current coach, Sue Swaine had helped me take the game up that extra notch that I needed.
