This isn't one of those "multi-level marketing" schemes, is it?

CONGRATS Manny!!! All the best to your new endeavor!!

Okay...mmm...warm socks....

What did I miss?

Q

Wow Manny ... so you're moving to St Louie? Heard its a great rball town. Best of luck with your rball store ... know you always wanted to be your own boss. You always have my support.

It takes real balls to set out on a venture like this. And it takes brains and a lot of hard work to make it successful.

Good luck, Manny.

Really appreciate the kind words from everyone.

The most exciting part of this new venture is the impact I get to directly have on the racquetball industry from many parts of it. Those who have followed me over the years know that I am a firm believer of where this sport can go.

If there is one downfall about this is I may be too nice and have to be sure to not give away the store!:-)

To make this work for the sport and myself I'm willing to make a lot of sacrifices to put back into store and sport via players/events/etc. Over time you will see what I mean.

Great things are in the works.

The MNP discount that I have originally started from scratch may have gotten better as well!:)

Racquetball is amazing in many ways and the more people that experience it (with proper direction) the more that people will stick.

Thank you everyone....I look forward to growing with all.

Thanks Spidey.

Yes....racquetball in St. Louis is great.

One thing that I've noticed over the years is their high school program is HUGE.

The thing that I notice about that is not many elite racquetball players are coming out of it. One of my goals is to change that.

I was asked from another coach to help him coach his 60 player team. Don't know if I will take that route as the place that the store is going to be in is a sports complex and is currently being built I think we were able to talk them into 4 indoor courts and 2 outdoor courts. They got super excited about the outdoor possibility because they are in construction and deal with concrete all the time and found the idea to be too easy to not do.

At the complex I will be responsible for all racquetball and anything rball related.

Dream come true!:-)


So you see...positive effect in the sport is happening quick.

Thanks Ed!

Did I say something wrong in construction lingo?

I meant that they are in the business.

Manny

Manny
I was joking....you know, Godfather films, putting someone in concrete, etc.

Don't know what Rex will do without you.

Jim

Manny, I'm excited about contributing to your endeavor.....I'm sure you'll continue to be a great ambassador for our great sport. You can count on my support!
