If you’re reading this email, it means you’re signed up because you’re interested in the solo training programme I’m launching soon. So thanks for trusting me with your inbox, I’m very excited to be sharing this new programme with you!

Here’s what you can expect from these emails, I’ll be sharing two emails a week:

1- The first will focus on helping you become a better squash player. I’ll share practical training ideas, break down drills, and offer clear technical advice you can apply straight away, especially for your solo sessions.

2- The second will be more behind the scenes. I’ll take you through how I’m building the programme, what I’ve been working on that week with Elevate Squash and what life looks like balancing that alongside competing as a professional player. I’ll also share the lessons I’m learning along the way- both on and off the court.

One thing I see all the time at clubs is this.

A player turns up ready to train, only to find out their hitting partner has cancelled. They pause for a moment… then either head home or start hitting the ball around with no real plan.

And that moment tells you a lot.

It’s not that they don’t care or don’t want to improve. Most of the time they just haven’t been shown what to do when they’re on their own. Without someone else there, they feel unsure. No structure, no clear focus and no confidence in what they’re doing.

As a pro, I’ve spent plenty of time training alone, not always by choice, but because that’s sometimes how it works. Looking back, some of those solo sessions were the most important for my development.

That’s exactly what the solo programme I’m launching is designed to help with. So when plans change, your training doesn’t. You step on court knowing how to use your time properly, on your own, with a clear purpose.

I’ll share more about the programme soon.

Sometimes people think that to improve at anything, they need to spend hours on end working on that skill.

That’s true to an extent.

Yes, mastering a skill takes time, but consistently dedicating just 20 minutes will often give you more progress than one long, occasional session. Shorter, focused sessions are easier to stick with, more enjoyable and let you stay sharp without burning out.

The key is consistency and intention. If you know exactly what to work on and can fit it into a short, manageable window, you’ll actually look forward to solo training. Plus the results will follow faster than you might expect.

The next time you have a match, try arriving a little early and doing a short solo session before you play. Doing this consistently can make a big difference over time. It helps you warm up, focus and build habits that carry straight into your game.

See you at the next email being sent later this week!
