squash is said to be one of the
healthiest sports of the mom I got it
hi I’m Veronica watchmojo.com and today
we’re learning the basics from the coach
of Canada’s national squash team so do
you know why this game was named squash
it’s the sound of the ball that’s it as
you’ll see it’s a soft ball when it hits
the walls because that’s the purpose of
the game you’re gonna hear it it’s a
squashy sound so that’s that’s where it
comes from what type of game is squash
it’s very demanding game you’ll see the
court is not that big most of the
players can get too many shots
so the rally is long but it’s intense
because the ball does travel fairly fast
as you’ll see there’s a lot of fitness
demands and that’s why it was voted one
of the you know best scores to get fit
what’s the purpose of this game how are
you gonna win it’s the same as any other
active sport you’re trying to hit one
more shot in your opponent oh now you’re
making me run for the back and if you
want the principle of the game is very
simple applying it and all the different
tactics become very very complicated you
have to be really really focused into
what you’re doing even though you’re
exerting yourself at 100% or sometimes
even more now you train the national
team what makes a good squash player
there’s obviously quite a few sets of
skills that you need mentally you have
to be very very strong Fitness is very
important the athletes that do play
squash and high-level are extremely
probably some of the fittest athletes in
the world because the game is very
intense and very long and demands very
short bursts and stops and starts and
twists you got to be very agile you got
to have very good cardio and you know
lots of power and the legs the training
for squash is quite important because
you have to develop all of these now if
this is someone’s first time picking up
the racquet what advice do you have for
them you learn to hit the ball first
then you have to start chasing it around
the court and and slowly progress to a
very simple way of playing to a very
subtle way of playing as you improve and
some people you know stop along the way
they’re happy with getting a workout and
hitting the ball around and that’s fine
well thank you very much you’re welcome
