Bill Belichick is perhaps the greatest coach in the history of the National Football League. A thoughtful, yet not particularly verbose coach, I've always loved his interviews. One of my

Squash Tigers methodology consists of THREE PILLARS

1. Long Term Player Development

2. The 5 TRAINABLES

3. Modern Periodization

Long Term Player Development

Briefly explained, Long Term Player Development or LTPD speaks to the intelligent programming of a player’s training based upon their age and stage of development – simply put, 10 year olds shouldn’t do the same training that 16 year olds do.

The Five Trainables

The various physical and mental competencies required to be developed in order for a squash player to achieve their potential in the sport.

We use the acronym S.M.A.R.T.
S – Strategy
M – Mental Skills
A – Athleticism
R – Real World Skills
T – Technical Literacy

Annual Periodization

Annual Periodization refers to paying appropriate attention to the time of year and the competitive or training priorities. We prioritize aspects of the Five Trainables at different times of year to maximize performance. Summer – we don’t train the same in summer as the week before Nationals.
