Two squash players rented a boat and were out fishing, one caught a large fish. " We should mark the spot," he said. The other squash player drew a large X in the bottom of the boat with a black marker.
"that's no good," said the first man. "Next time out we may not get the same boat."

The squashgodfathers tips in toughing out a tuffy

Matches often just see-saw up and down, especially in the first game, as players search for their opponents weaknesses, both physical and mental.

If you find that you are losing toward the end of the first game(never happened to the squashgodfather), it is vital that you change things, speed it up, slow it down, volley more, what ever, just change, don't stick to a losing plan...just ask the Dockers!!
Use variety,if you become too predictable your opponent can start to read the play and dictate the terms. Always keep him guessing, change some of the little things, eg: play with the opposite hand, take your shoes off, put your shirt over your head, tell him his missus is ugly...its the little things that can get in his head that can turn a match.
In the fourth game the winning player can feel pressure, he can visualize himself holding the trophy and tries like crazy finish the rally.
This is an interesting part of the match where you can apply mental, physical and tactical pressure, by eliminating your errors and make him have to hit the winner, not so easy for most players in the 5Th set!! and put in front an audience and his ugly missus.
There is no substitute for experience in five-setters; and, the more you survive and win the more confidence you will get and the more shit scared of you your opponents will become of you.

1..The squashgodfather injured himself last night, and had to retire from a match that he was on his way to winning.....very not funny..heehee Davo !!

2..The Pope and Tiger Woods both die on the same day, due to an unfortunate mix up in the paper work, The Pope ends up going down to hell while Tiger goes to heaven. The pope explains the situation to the clerical staff down in hell, and after checking the paper work they realize their mistake, "HOWEVER" they explain, "it will take 24 hours before it can be rectified."

Next day the Pope is called and the hell staff bid him farewell

On the way up the Pope crosses paths with Tiger, who is on his way down to Hell, and they stop and have a chat.

"Sorry about the mix up" apologises the Pope, "No problem" replies Tiger.
Pope,"I am really excited about going to heaven".
Tiger, "Why is that?"
Pope, "All my life I have wanted to meet the Virgin Mary."
Tiger, "Your a day late."

squashgodfather decides whether to call long or short

One of the biggest decisions a squash player will have to make, is during a PAR match, at 8 all, is whether to call 9 or 10...
Now that I am in the not so youngish stage, at 8 all in a game I am usually buggered, and I know that I can pull out a game winning nick at will, I usually call short...9......remember moto, why take 2 shots when can finish in 1 !!

If you are younger, fitter, and not as gutsy as the squashgodfather, you can play for safety and call 10.

One of the benefits of going short , is that it throws the pressure back to on your opponent, especially if he has been on 8 for a while, whilst you have been on the comeback, to level at 8 all. He will be thinking, that he hasn't been able to win 1 point, let a lone 2...pressure, pressure, pressure.


Next time your at 8 all show some guts... and call short!!!

After an hour , by which tinme he was pissed as a parrott from martinis, and his jar full of olives, he staggers out of the bar.
"Well," remarks a customer, that was bloody unusual!"

squashgodfathers favourite shots #1

Throughout my illustrious squash career, there is a motto that I live and die by, "don't take 2 shots, if you can finish it in 1"
My favourite shot number 1, is the forehand smash cross court nick
Over the years this has become one of the most feared returns of serve in Perth.
How it works: opponent serves a lob serve to my forehand, I do a cross court over head smash into the back hand front nick (the nick is where the wall and floor meet)
Always ends up in a rolling dead nick,impossible for my opponent to hit,
thus winning the rally in 1 hit...perfect

squashgodfathers opinion re point a rally (PAR) V hand in hand out (HIHO)

Debate has been raging lately over the change of scoring system, from HIHO to PAR.
Well from my point of view, (is there any other) as I am now old, slow and not as fit as I was in my youth, I prefer the PAR. This is beacuase I am no longer able to grind out matches and wear my oponent into submission, and have to rely on my brilliant shot making and outright winning nicks to finish a match quickly...quicker the better.

2010 is all about rapid (just ask my wife) as is the case in IPL cricket, short and sharp. With PAR there is no long, point less rallies..they are all worth a point. It also makes for much more exciting shot play.

I was recently playing one of the States top juniors in a match under the HIHO scoring system, we had about 10 HIHI's and after 10 minutes it was still love all...and I was buggered..game over.

PAR here we come

squashgodfather speaks the truth

This is a true story that happened last monday 4th jan 2010. My squash partner was teamed up to play with Pat Cash in the pr-oam of the Hopman cup tennis, this was because his employer was one of the sponsors of the event.
He has had a bad groin injury for the past 6 months, and has not been able to play squash without the benefit of 2 bounces (whilst I take only take one).
Anyway despite his bad groin and lack of movement and fitness, him and Pat Cash were able to win the pro-am........

What this shows in glaring terms, is that you have to be so much fitter and stronger to play squash than tennis.

Too true says the squashgodfather

squashgodfather says "squash gets ya fit fast"

Forbes Magazine has rated squash as the "healthiest sport."

Squash has been rated as the top sport in a survey of the 'Ten Healthiest Sports' published by respected US business and investment magazine Forbes.

Writer Neal Santelmann explains that "each of these sporting activities is a great way to get you fit--and keep you there."

Ratings were based upon consultations with fitness experts - coaches, personal trainers, competitors and exercise physiologists - as well as "a dash of personal experience". The four basic physiological components of fitness were rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being "excellent," 4 being "darn good," 3 being "good," 2 being "not bad" and 1 being "nothing special."

The survey quantified calorie burn (in parentheses) based upon the energy expenditure of a 190-pound person over 30 minutes and is rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being 450+ calories, 4 being 400-450 calories, 3 being 350-400 calories, 2 being 300-350 calories and 1 being 250-300 calories.

The magazine points out that "Calorie burn rates are from the American College of Sports Medicine; whenever possible, we selected the rate for "moderate" or similar intensity."

Scores were tallied to arrive at an individual rating for each sport. "Of course," added Santelmann, "physiological benefits, injury risks and calorie burn can vary widely depending upon the technique, vigour, care and enthusiasm with which you pursue the sport."

Squash - scored an overall score of 22.5, ahead of Rowing with 22.0 - reads: "The preferred game of Wall Street has convenience on its side, as 30 minutes on the squash court provides an impressive cardio respiratory workout. Extended rallies and almost constant running builds muscular strength and endurance in the lower body, while lunges, twists and turns increase flexibility in the back and abdomen. "For people just getting into the game, it's almost too much to sustain, but once you get there, squash is tremendous," says Paul Assaiante, head coach of the five-time defending national intercollegiate champion men's squash team at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. Assaiante recommends a regimen of yoga, sprinting and distance running for preparation.

The ten sports highlighted in the Forbes survey (in final rating order) were: Squash, Rowing, Rock Climbing, Swimming, Cross-Country Skiing, Basketball, Cycling, Running, Modern Pentathlon and Boxing.
