TIP OF THE WEEK

Feel free to cheat! In squash 'cheating' means poaching to one side of the court. In most cases occurs on backhand after a penetrating length. As your opponent reaches behind to retrieve the shot, their wrist locks eliminating an effective cross court option. This forces them to hit straight down the wall, hence setting you up to poach over for the attack!

Testimonial:

"I really loved the squash camp that you set up last summer. It was serious squash training and fun at the same time. The drills that we all practiced together were amazing. Since the camp finished, I have been practicing these drills and my squash game has improved so much lately. I liked the video analyses that you did so I saw how I actually looked on the court. I think that the challenge ladder was a great idea to compare ourselves amongst the other kids. At the end of the camp, we all got a squash booklets. The squash booklet has helped me so much to get prepared for squash games and matches. I really liked that at the end of every day, we stretched to prevent injuries. Now I always stretch before and after every match and I have not ever had a single injury. In general, I think the whole squash camp was wonderful"

Sincerely

Justin Ghaeli (BU11 Toronto, Canada)

”There is no better place to learn squash!!! ….to love and live the game with Shahier and all his team”

Pablo De Philpe ( Adult - Madrid, Spain)

“My son, Gabriel Morgan, 12, is a dedicated junior squash player who plays on the elite U.S. Squash Junior Championship Tour. Presently, Gabriel is the # 1 ranked junior in the U.S. in the Boys U13 division. Gabriel has been lucky to train with Shahier several times, both in the U.S. and Canada. We’ve traveled from our home in California all the way to Oakville, Ontario just for the opportunity to get on court with Shahier and his world-class team of coaches at Pro Squash Training. From our experience, Shahier is hands down one of the very best squash coaches in the business. If you’re serious about squash and taking your game to the highest levels, then you should definitely work with Shahier Razik.”
