I have met with over fifty families this spring, talking about a variety of squash related subjects ranging from player progress to goal setting, summer plans and college recruitment. As these meetings have progressed, I have made notes on some of the more frequent conversations and areas that could perhaps use additional clarification for everyone.
To this end I have created a parent Explainer Page, which you can find via this link. The link will take you through to a new Instagram page with a series of 90 second explanations on such subjects as goal setting, coaching between games and periodization. For parents who are forever looking for "an edge", or simply a better understanding of the coaching process I am hoping it will be a helpful resource.
If there are any subjects that you would like me to touch on in the Explainer Page, please dm the page or email me via paul@squashtigers.com and conversely, if they provoke any additional thoughts, please come and talk it over with me. Navigating the junior squash world can be a tension inducing activity, I'm looking to assist in any way I can... no such thing as a foolish question!
See you all at the club.
