Serious squash players usually play 40 - 50 weeks of the year.  The better the standard of competition the more sophisticated the combination of physical, mental tactical and technical abilities need to be.

A periodised training program follows a pre set schedule and is centered around major important matches throughout the whole year. Why follow a schedule?  Why not just keep playing squash?

• To condition the muscles
• To keep a balance within the body
• To prevent staleness and boredom.
• To minimise injury during the competitive season, and prevent repetitive strain injuries.
• To pay attention to all the necessary elements of peak performance.
