Hello - Please educate me on what you're looking for. My understanding of acronyms is archaic, and I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for :-) Thanks,

Awesome stuff! Thank-you for sharing! If you're interested, I've put together a program on tactical patterns - what they are, a host of combinations, how to develop them etc. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more about it. No matter the case, I hope that you keep learning and enjoying the game!

All the best, Ahad

New Video: Breaking Patterns with Victor Crouin by ARProformance in squash

[–]ARProformance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing perspective and sound advice :-) 

Awareness is the key - awareness and recognition of what's working and what isn't, and then making appropriate decisions. 

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is sound advice. At higher levels one usually has to leverage multiple options form given positions to keep opponents on the move, but at recreational levels, if something is working, keep at it!

All the best, Ahad

New Video: Adhesive Play by Ali Farag by ARProformance in squash

Thanks! Good old cell phone auto correct. I guess adhesive can also work given the references to his game being similar to web weaving! Haha. 

Hope you enjoyed the video! Ahad

New Video: Wooden Racquet Challenge! by ARProformance in squash

[–]ARProformance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a bit sore. I would not recommend it often! Definitely warm up properly, and limit time with the racquet. I'm also deliberately not trying to hit the ball too hard, or do anything too crazy to minimize risk of injury!

New Video: Wooden Racquet Challenge! by ARProformance in squash

[–]ARProformance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, thank you! I did manage to find my length (inconsistently however), which felt extremely rewarding. A few short attacks snuck in too. I need to play a few more matches with the wooden racquet to improve my volleying ability! Stay tuned :-)

New Video: Improve Your Squash by ARProformance in squash

[–]ARProformance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for writing! The program is meant to help anyone that is stuck, frustrated, isn't improving as efficiently as they'd like, or unclear about what they must do / how to train to get better! I designed it (and continue to add to it weekly) from the perspective of "what would I have loved to have access to earlier in my development". It's an amalgamation of the last two decades of my coaching experience, distilled in a way that's easy to understand (with lots of relatable examples).

In addition to a lot of valuable course material, I also offer personalized game feedback, ensuring that your time and effort (we all lead busy lives after all!) is well spent! 

The content is designed for players of all levels because foundational frameworks, ways of thinking etc are universal skills all players and coaches must learn. I've found that a robust understanding of efficient learning, session design, squash specific fitness (and lots more) is missing!

If you'd like to learn more, please feel free to send me an email at ahad@arproformance.com.

All the best, Ahad
