NJ NEWS!

A few updates and summer notes below that are probably worth knowing as we head toward the end of the school year. Spring is a great time to put good work in on court.

June is a busy month, Early Summer begins June 1 and runs through the first three weeks of June. Another part of our June plan is our final...

The Intelligence Paradox: Why Smart Players Need Rehearsal

In squash, intelligence is usually seen as an advantage. Smart players understand tactics. They recognize patterns. They think about positioning, shot selection, and strategy. All of that matters. But there is a paradox that shows up again and again in junior sport. Sometimes intelligence leads to worse performance. Not because players lack ability. Because they think too much. When Intelligence Gets in the Way Highly intelligent players often fall into a familiar trap. They begin to:...

Morning Routines for Tournament Days

How to Start Strong Before You Even Hit a Ball Tournament mornings matter more than most players realize. Not because they’re dramatic. Because they set your nervous system, your energy, and your focus for the entire day. You don’t “flip a switch” at match time. You build momentum from the moment you wake up. Let’s do this properly. Step 1: Wake Up Earlier Than You Think You Need To Give yourself time . Rushing first thing in the morning is the fastest way to feel off all day. Aim for: Enough...

What to Eat Between Matches

Fuel Fast. Recover Faster. Play Better. Between matches is not mealtime. It’s refueling time . You’re trying to: Replace energy (carbs) Support muscles (protein) Keep digestion easy Avoid feeling heavy, sleepy, or weird Simple beats fancy. Always. The Golden Rule 👉 Carbs first. Protein second. Fat last. Why: Carbs = quick energy Protein = muscle repair Fat = slow digestion (save it for later) Between matches is not the moment for burgers, fries, or mystery snacks from the vending machine.

Squash Specific Attention Training!

As a squash coach working with competitive juniors, one of the most powerful frameworks I use to develop their mental game is Nideffer’s Model of Attentional Focus . Dr. Robert Nideffer , a psychologist and former Olympic consultant, developed this model to help athletes understand how their focus shifts during performance. He identified two key dimensions of attention — width (broad to narrow) and direction (internal to external) — and mapped them into four distinct types of focus....

Sleep Is Training

Why Going to Bed Might Be Your Secret Weapon Let’s clear something up: Sleep is not what happens after training. Sleep is part of training. You don’t get faster, stronger, or sharper during practice. You get better while you’re asleep. Yes. Really. If you’re serious about squash (or even just enjoying it more), sleep matters as much as court time. What Sleep Actually Does for Junior Players While you’re sleeping, your body is busy doing important stuff: Repairing muscles 💪 Restoring energy...

Hydration in Winter: Why Your Game Still Needs Water (Even When You’re Freezing)

Let’s get something straight right away: If you wait until you feel thirsty, you’re already behind. Yes. Even in winter. Yes. Even on indoor courts. Yes. Even when your hands feel like ice cubes. Welcome to cold-weather dehydration. It’s sneaky. It doesn’t announce itself. It just quietly steals your energy, focus, and footwork. Fun. “But I’m Not Sweating…” You are. You just don’t notice it as much. Cold air is dry. Heated indoor spaces are dry. Long rallies still raise your core temperature....

Pre-Rally Rituals: The Hidden Key to Consistent Junior Squash Performance

Every rally begins before the ball is struck. In junior squash, consistency is often treated like a personality trait. Some players are described as “steady,” others as “emotional,” as if these qualities are fixed. In reality, consistency is built from habits, and one of the most powerful habits a young player can develop is a clear pre-rally ritual. A pre-rally ritual is a short, repeatable routine used between points to reset attention, regulate emotion, and begin the next rally with...

TNT: The Coaching Concept Hiding in Plain Sight

Every sport has its buzzwords, but one idea deserves far more airtime in squash: TNT, Takes No Talent . You will hear the phrase in pockets of American football, basketball, and certain high performance environments, yet it is strangely absent in most racket sport cultures. That is surprising, because TNT speaks directly to the foundation of consistent performance. These are the controllable behaviors that require zero talent but separate serious athletes from the rest. In squash, we spend...

Be Curious, Not Judgmental

Be Curious, Not Judgmental Walt Whitman The quote made its way back into the zeitgeist thanks to Ted Lasso . In one of the show’s sharpest scenes, Lasso uses it during a darts match to quietly dismantle a man who underestimated him. Not because he was offended, but because he understood the trap: when people judge too quickly, they stop seeing what’s actually there. They stop learning. They stop noticing. On a squash court, that moment happens every day. When players are confronted by a new...

The Dunning–Kruger Curve and Junior Squash: Why Confidence Spikes, Dips and Eventually Settles Into the Real Thing

The Dunning–Kruger effect describes a simple pattern in human learning. When someone first starts developing a skill, they often become confident faster than they become competent. They know a little, it feels like a lot, and the brain gets ahead of itself. As they improve and see more of the game’s complexity, that overconfidence drops. Eventually, with experience, feedback and practice, their confidence lines up with their level. Squash shows this pattern clearly. A new or rapidly improving...

When To Retire Your Squash Shoes (Hint: Long Before They Look Worn Out)

Squash players love to hang onto their shoes. They look fine. The grip seems okay. The laces aren’t broken. So the pair stays in rotation far past its prime. The trouble is that performance dies long before appearance does. A squash shoe is really three different parts doing three different jobs: the outsole grips, the upper stabilizes the foot, and the midsole absorbs impact. The outsole and upper wear slowly and visibly. The midsole breaks down quietly . And once that midsole goes, the...

The Hidden Downside of Too Much Solo Hitting

Solo hitting has long been part of the squash tradition. Every player knows the feeling — an empty court, a clean ball, and the satisfying rhythm of striking it just right. It looks productive, it feels disciplined, and it’s often the first thing players do when they want to “put in extra work.” But like many things in performance sport, more isn’t always better.
