  How can I strengthen my grip and fingers?

  ive used this stuff called power putty to strengthen my hands for climbing, its basically really stiff silly putty but it works really well. they sell it at REI but you can probably find it elsewhere for cheaper.

  How do you stop leather trainers from squeaking?

  if you know where the squeak is coming from (its usually where 2 pieces of leather are rubbing) then go buy some mink oil, its similar to clear shoe polish and comes in a tin just like shoe polish. apply the mink oil with a soft cloth or paper towel to both pieces of leather that are causing the sound. this should lubricate that interface and reduce the squeaking or eliminate it. failing that some stores will take shoes back because they squeak, although i used to work for one of these stores and always thought that was kind of ridiculous.

  How do you even out muscle tone/size disparities from playing racket sports?

  haha weasel probably made a really obvious joke there, i guess i thought people responding would be a little more mature than that, and I also thought that I made it clear that this problem was occurring only after I started playing a lot of racquetball.

  Should I see a physical therapist, massage therapist, or sports-medicine specialist?

  i ran track for all of high school, and shin splints were a big problem for me until I listened to the coach when he told us to walk one lap backwards after our warmup laps. you look ridiculous doing it but it really helps to stretch out those muscles that start to hurt and cramp up around the front of your leg. It solved the problem for me within a few days. If they are especially bad, do kind of an exaggerated step when walking backwards- leave your feet on the ground for a little longer than is normal.
