Finding the Perfect Doubles Partner

Posted by Kenna M.

Some of my best racquetball games are doubles because I have a great doubles partner, Daniel. We easily communicate with each other, which makes the game better. We have fun and excel. I play better on the left side of the court while Daniel plays better on the right side. A partner who is better than the opposite of your best side is crucial. It makes us a formidable team. Daniel and I play at the same pace. We enjoy being fast-pace players who drive hard compared to slow-pace players with less intensity. Playing with a doubles partner who is the same pace keeps me in the game. Daniel has plenty of experience playing doubles. He plays several times a week. His experience shows and helps my game. I trust, respect and have confidence in Daniel because he shows me the same respect, confidence and trust. He is a fair player. We play as one unit. We respect each other's abilities and believe in them. My know I have the right doubles partner - we win, of course. People comment to us and say things like, ?Have you two been playing together for a long time?? ?You two play so well together; it's great watching you play.? Getting an honest third opinion helps too.
