REDCARD ROBERTS Racquetball and Latin all mixed in When I was in high school, all students were required to take one year of a foreign language. I was an aspiring Francophile and dreamt of the day I'd contemplate life in a vineyard, sipping wine and conversing with my French lover, saying things like: "L'amour fait les plus grandes douceurs et les plus sensibles infortunes de la vie." (Love makes life's sweetest pleasures and worst misfortunes.) But my mother's dreams were for me to go into medicine and she was determined to make sure I graduated fluent in the language nearly all medical terms are rooted in. She insisted I take Latin, and made me stay with it all four years. I begged and pleaded to take French. "Who am I going to have a conversation with? The Pope?!" I'd argue. But alas, she paid my allowance, and therefore won by default. I spent my first day of Latin class trying to convince my teacher to find a new hobby. "It's a dead language!" I reminded her over and over. But eventually I grew to love both the language, and the fact that I was one of just a handful of people in the world who could speak it fluently. Turns out, my foreign language experience is a lot like the game of racquetball. Something I realized last week when I bumped into my friend Gary Howard at Silver Mountain Sports Club. Both Gary and I have been members at this gym for years and I usually see him playing racquetball at least a couple times a week. He's one of the dozen or so dedicated players you'll find there. With just one public racquetball court in Park City, I ask him why there aren't more names on the sign-up sheet for court times. "It's a dying sport," he tells me. "But I love it." Ego can commemoro. (I can relate.) Gary's been playing com- By Amy Roberts petitive racquetball for over 35 years and is one of the top players in the state, He's even sponsored by E-Force. Considering the only sponsor I'll ever have will likely come with a 12-step program, I find this uber impressive. But, according to Gary, what's even more impressive is the sport itself. "It's an amazing workout. In just an hour of playing you'll burn about 800 calories," he said. "But you don't even realize it because the game is so mentally challenging. It's really a game of seek and destroy. You have to outwit your opponent to win." After listening to him, I can't help but think if you combine the strategy involved in a game of chess with the cardio you get from running 10 miles, then viola! You have racquetball. Sounds kind of cool to me. So I have to wonder, why are there so few players? Gary explained, "There's a few reasons it's not a popu- finished in second, making it a 1, 2 Austrian podium.

Because of that, it's also hard for TV cameras to cover matches and bring attention to the sport." I suppose it's also a bit difficult to get kids involved. I mean, how many full-ride racquetball scholarships do you hear about? But Gary clearly doesn't pick up his racquet for fame or fortune. He simply loves the game. "It's a sport that demands you be both physically and mentally quick. It might be on the way out, but I find so much joy in being one of few who can do it." Credo nos in fluctu eodem esse.
