Elias v Asal has the potential to be the next great rivalry in squash. Great video as usual Ahad, I hope you're doing well.

Brilliant analysis as usual. I try to ask myself as my opponent preps for his shot, "what shot is he most likely to hit from here...?"

Great video! I also believe this skill can somewhat be developed in solo practice, particularly ghosting. When returning to the T, one should practice having a moment of mental clarity and focus, which is eventually reserved for closely reading the opponent to anticipate the next shot. This is opposed to letting the brain go into screensaver mode between shots. So training ones anticipation leads one to add focus training to ghosting drills.

Great point Joseph. As you've noted, there are many unique ways to train anticipation on court, off court, by yourself, or with a partner! Let's build! 👊🏼 - Ahad

I find the knock up is very useful to start to build a picture of my opponent's striking points and body position. Watch for tells and see if I can anticipate when the ball is coming back to my side. Also a good opportunity to start the mind games and some deception in my swing :)

More great content and things to think about Ahad. This will not be an easy skill to acquire, but worth perservering with. For me personally, trying to improve shot quality before trying to "read" or "anticipate" presents potentially greater gains currently.

Absolutely agree Steve! Let's keep refining the technique and accuracy, and then progress here. Hope it sparked some interest 👊🏼 speak soon, - Ahad

One thing I'm busy wiith presently, on top of what you present here ( And i totally agree with this) is : How do you look ? I mean in term of eyes... I read somewhere to use periphical vision for follow the ball trajectory ( when opponent hits the ball) and parafeoval vision focused on wrist, racket face and front arm. What do you think about that ? How to look at the opponent ? At the ball ? This is not so easy. To give some context, i'm trying to do this because i still do not look my opponenet until the strike.. i always stop watching before he hits the ball

@ARProformance Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing. If you watch the pros, they angle their bodies slightly on the T, and turn their necks so that they're completely focused on the ball. They're always tracking it as well. One ends up developing a holistic picture eventually, where vision develops beyond the ball, and the opponent enters the conscious field of view. From what you're saying, definitely develop the ability to watch the ball the entire time 👍🏼 All the best developing this skill! - Ahad

Another nice video Ahad. You'd think Elias would open his body and hit straight to fake out his opponent, since Jonathan is his coach. What about a situation where your opponent might be a bit behind you, raise his racket really high as if he's going to hit it really hard, and then at the last second hits a soft drop. How do you not get stuck on your feet and have your body tighten up? Thanks

@ARProformance Жыл бұрын

Absolutely right. There are many scenarios in which players can add deception (as noted). It's a massive subject with many discussion points so I didn't want to go down that route in this video. The examples you've described are more about shaping with the body to create deception. The concept of 'flowing' around the court always applies in these situations, so the body isn't getting excessively tensed throughout the entire motion, only at parts, and players are always syncing their movements back to the 'T' after striking. Hope this helps. It's a complex subject! - Ahad
