Late Blooming Athlete.

Alcohol grows stupidity, water grows health. I move, therefore I am. Too many hardships makes the athlete brittle, too few makes them fragile. Facing death encourages us to seize athleticism. Make time fly. Whilst still on court, my hope remains. The racket is spun. The champion does not train with… Subscribe to get access Read more of this content when you subscribe today. Subscribe

Cruel Athleticism

When the athlete slips and falls, that is an opportunity to inspect the floor, have a rest and rise reinvigorated. A good training partner is better than a near participant. One shot selection is closed, but a thousand are open. A self coached athlete is repeatedly reborn. Fake friends use their tongue to diminish the athlete. Talk too much and that is what… Subscribe to get access Read…

Packing in the Athleticism.

A rich club makes its casual players serious. Don’t train with lower graded players unless they’re team mates seeking improvement. Success doesn’t change people, it merely exposes them. You can dress a participant in a track suit, but they’re still a participant. Train beautifully and you will compete beautifully. Look at an athlete’s squash, not their… Subscribe to get access Read more of…

Bamboo Squash.

If you are sad, forget that rally. If you are angry, cease predicting outcomes. To be flowing, live in the present. To coach an athlete, serve them. Victory over others raises rankings, victory over oneself is mastery. Get rid of the desire for match practice. True training has frustrations which are overcome. When I let go of what I was, I become what I am. An athlete is soft and flexible,…

Long then Short.

Don’t count it as your point before the scorer does. A good team has many hands for making light work, but it’s the athlete whom juggles. Some spun rackets always land facing up. Training improves faster than spectating. An old athlete can learn. A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is 24 pictures per second. Cardio makes the heart stronger. Lift no more than… Subscribe to get…

Brazeningly Squashed.

A timely no let beats a hasty yes let. Others will measure you with the same racket you use to measure them. Earn your successes carefully for the opposers will attempt to steal them. One should add nutritious salad to a meat sandwich. Give too much free advice to participants and they’ll probably suspiciously reject all of it. You can only take out of a bag equipment that is already in…

French Kissing an Athlete.

Athletes are not made in a day. The last point is the best point. Preventions are better than cures. Strength grows best with slow and stable training. The participant whom referees their own match will quarrel. Experience is superior to theory. All that annihiliates is not anti-matter. Train some and keep resting. Skills and fitness deteriorate, move frequently. When the athlete appears…

Pining for Squash.

An unfit player with skills is still an unfit player. Don’t put trust in sporting organisations until you’ve earned their trust. Those whom boast a lot should not boast about it. Juniors who get everything they ask for do not become champions. Equipment can be purchased, technique and fitness cannot. There are no insurmountable obstacles to the keen athletes training. Every shot goes…

Cartesian Sport

I train, therefore I am. The training of all good routines is a conversation with ones own physiology. If you would be a genuine elite performer, it is necessary that many times in life you doubt all anecdotal advice. Conquer yourself rather than the opponent. Participation is the most widely shared service in sport, for everyone is convinced they can move. High percentages is the origin of…

Hit in and run a lot!

Be willing to retrieve relentlessly and they’ll eventually make an error. Your opponent always has something you don’t. The Squash life is what you make of it. A good shotmaker may miss. If the athlete is with participants, they show flair; If they’re with contenders, they show relentlessness. The resolved athlete does not… Subscribe to get access Read more of this content when you…

Great Athleticism.

You cannot shake hands while the racket is loaded. Let me sacrifice my today so that I can compete better tomorrow. The most difficult thing is the decision to train optimally, the rest is merely tenacity. Anxieties are paper tigers. We can do anything we decide to do. We can train to change and control our lives; the procedures, the processes are our own rewards. Do not internalise anything…

Natively Athletic.

Only when the last participant quits, the last junior drops out and the last official stops volunteering, will the club realise marketing matters. There are two styles fighting inside every squash athlete. The first one goes for winners, the second one plays without errors. Which style will win? The one we train optimally. When you get serious about optimal training, you realised your…

Hitting the Mark.

Athletes never lie so much as before a tournament, during a close match, or when in doubt. Foolish athletes learn only from their own mistakes. Wise athletes learn from the mistakes of others. We live in a wonderous time, in which wealthy athletes become weak because of ease and some poor grow athletically great because of hardship. Athletes cannot control everything about the match. They can…

Beautiful Athleticism.

Inner beauty can be observed. Every shot that goes in has beauty, but not everyone can see it. Confident athleticism breeds beauty. Beauty is like simple squash, the simpler it is the more beautiful it is. Beautiful athleticism begins the moment we decide to be ourselves. Beautiful squash captures the inner court for oneself and banishes the opponent to the boundary. Bright eyes and a good…

In The Way of Squash.

Accept every shot and decision just the way it is. Seek the winner only after recognising the opportunity. Decide ones shot selection early to improve consistency. Move lightly yourself and hit deep before hitting short. Be patiently diligent whilst working towards ones desires. Regret what you dreamed of but didn’t work upon, accept whatever you actually did.

The Envious Athlete.

Their squash is better than your squash because they’re playing right now and you’re just watching. Envying the other players skills, fitness or opportunity should inspire you towards optimal training. Envying the opponents kill shots should inspire one to practice our own kill shots. Envy is the symbol of a loser who probably won’t work towards becoming a success. The truest mark of being…

Napping and Dreaming about Squash.

There is no need to interrupt the opposition whom is arguing with the referee. Strength is a physiological outcome, courage is a psychological process. The simple athlete can do five things magnificently and be a champion. Reading the book is not training, implementing the knowledge may be. Her story is not his story. Visualisation aligns the athletes world. If the athlete wants to play…
