Jose Martinez (left) and Martin Gonzalez have been playing racquetball at Franciscan Health Fitness Center for more than ten years. ________________________________________________
Franciscan Health Fitness Centers Members Martin Gonzalez and Jose Martinez took 1st Place in the (MCAD) Men’s Doubles – Centurion +A Division of the US OPEN Racquetball Championship. The pair played from Wednesday, October 4th through Sunday, October 8th, 2017 in the single elimination tournament held at the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN Jose Martinez has been a member of Franciscan Health Fitness Centers since 1990, and Martin Gonzalez has been a member since 2004. Both have been playing racquetball three to four times a week and doubles for at least 10 of those years. “I’ve played a lot of doubles and mixed doubles and met a lot of good partners through Franciscan Health Fitness Centers so Martin and I don’t always partner.” Last year Jose won the Nationals with fellow Club member and partner, Drake Deavours. This year, Jose and Martin decided to try for the US Open, the biggest tournament in Racquetball. As two of 758 players at the US Open, Jose and Martin not only play for themselves but also to represent the Club. “Martin and I play all over and it’s good to come home to Franciscan Health Fitness Centers. It’s one of the best and cleanest clubs we’ve been in and we’ve been in a lot of clubs. We’re proud to represent Franciscan Health Fitness Centers and call it our home club.”
When Jose and Martin flew out to the tournament by themselves, their family fan club stayed home. “On Friday, we had just lost a game and I was feeling it, just sad. And Martin has this big smile on his face and I am thinking, we just lost a game, what’s with the big smile? I turn around and there’s my wife, who had driven seven hours to surprise me and, since I wasn’t expecting to see her, I almost didn’t recognize her!” Jose’s wife and two daughters had come to cheer them on. On Saturday, they had a second surprise when Martin’s daughter, two grandchildren, a niece and her children showed up as well. “That really puts the pressure on—having the family watch you play!” says Jose. Jose also mentioned that by using all aspects of the Club, he is more successful at racquetball. “I am fully invested—I cross train, use free weights and do cardio. You just have to, your body needs strength and mental focus in order to do your best work in any sport.” Franciscan Health Fitness Centers Schererville has nine racquetball courts and is host for several INSRA (Indiana State Racquetball Association) Tournaments and other local tournaments every year.
