Interview with Paola Longoria


Today I had the privilege of sitting down with Paola Longoria for an interview at the Maverick Athletic Club in Arlington, TX. Paola was in town visiting her boyfriend and I invited both of them out to my club to get in some practice time and workout afterwards. I sat down with Paola for about 45 minutes and asked her all sorts of questions for an interview to be released very soon. It was great to listen how she started playing racquetball and also how much support she received from her family while playing on the WPRO women's pro tour. In fact, her younger brother was on his way to the Dominican Republic to compete in the IRF Junior World Championships.
I would like to extend a very special thank you to Jansen Allen and Paola Longoria for coming out to the Maverick. Paola, gracias por tomarte el tiempo de sentarte para platicar conmigo. Eres una gran persona y deportista!

It is also worth mentioning that Paola has designed her line of sports apparel and clothing. Check out her fashion line at www.topplaygear.com and click on her name to see all her merchandise.

Paola Longoria Suspended For First WPRO Pro Event

Racquetballjunkie.com is reporting that WPRO Paola Longoria has been suspended for the first WPRO pro event of the 2011-2012 season due to some disciplinary action she faced from an event during the 2010-2011 season. Longoria will miss the Ektelon WPRO Texas Open in Dallas, TX which will be August 26-28, 2011. Is this really healthy or fair to the players and sponsors of the WPRO event in Texas? There is much talk about the actions that were taken against Longoria who was disciplined for her actions that took place at the Stockton pro event last April.

World Singles and Doubles Open Racquetball Championships Blog Post

Working on my last BIG official Championship event this year. Actually, Jim Hiser and I, Joe Williams and Jim Easterling have been working on this event since the last one in 2023. It's really a labor of love to make sure all the details, planning and extra work that goes into hosting a first class event. World Singles and Doubles Website Most people just show up, play and want to enjoy every moment in a short window of 4 days! But the preparation to get there is tremendous when you have a good strong team and committee as we do. Nobody can run an event alone, any seasoned event director knows that and will tell you that.
