Psychology and Squash
Squash is fast, intense, and full of challenges—not just for your body, but for your mind too. Whether you’re battling through a long rally, trying to bounce back from a tough loss, or staying calm under pressure, your mental game can be the difference between playing well… and falling apart.
That’s why building strong mental skills is just as important as practicing your shots or working on fitness. The good news? These skills can be learned and trained, just like any other part of your game.
Below you’ll find a series of bite-sized resources designed specifically for junior players. Each one focuses on a key area of squash psychology—what it is, why it matters, and how to build it. You’ll also get simple hacks you can start using straight away, both on and off the court.
