JASON MANNINO

After a near fatal car accident this phenom (Jason Mannino) thrived through adversity like a hot knife through butter. Although doctors said Jason would never walk again, he was not only able to walk again, he quickly become one of the best racquetball players to ever play the game. At just 24 years old, Jason was the 1999 U.S. Open Champion and, at 31 years old, Jason won the 2006 U.S. Open Champion again. At 27, Jason won the 2000 U.S Pro Nationals.

Jason won the 1996 International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Rookie of the Year award, and in 1998 was awarded the IRT Most Improved Player of the Year.  Jason was one of the top 5 ranked players in the world for 6 years. In 2003, Jason became the #1 ranked player in the world. He used the same techniques to be the best in the world that we teach all over the country in our World Class Racquetball Camps. Jason teaches hundreds of students how to improve their game every year. From San Diego, California, Jason survives on guts and determination and plays an exciting diving game, making gets that keeps his opponents guessing and frustrated.
