The first step in any personal or professional development initiative is to know your current skill and ability level. Self-assessment can be done on your own or you can schedule a session with one of our coaches to go through it with you on-court.
Once you know what you can and can’t do, you can then decide what your next steps are going to be. Our coaches have all been through this process and will help you improve faster, with less frustration, protect you from the most common injuries and help you avoid the mistakes most players make.
SquashLevels is the world’s most advanced rating system which tracks how well you’re doing with respect to local as well as international players. There’s also a really cool match prediction and skills testing system you can use with your coach to determine how you can improve your odds of winning by making specific changes to your game.

Twenty one permanent high-definition cameras have been installed at Sydney University’s aquatic centre (3 courts) and the arena (2 courts) as well as on both CBD Squash courts in the heart of the city.
There are three cameras per court: The one in the front tin captures all your attacking shots (winners), a second camera is positioned directly above the T so you can assess your dominance or lack thereof and the third camera is at the back of the court to observe your overall court movement, ball retrieval and strategic positioning.
The high-definition cameras will capture every minute of play from all 3 angles simultaneously and store it all in your personal account, so you can replay and review your winners and errors from the best angles.
Deliberate Practice Principles requires self-assessment and review. Video replay analysis is the best way to confirm what worked versus what didn’t – in practice and match play.
The online PlaySight system is accessible on your Phone, iPad or laptop. You can stop, review, zoom in &out quickly and effortlessly without having to worry about large file uploads and backups. All your practice sessions, coaching lessons and matches will be delivered to your account automatically.
Imagine how much faster you’ll improve once you can see all the mistakes you’ve been making and where your strengths actually are.
With your coach’s input, you’ll be able to fully understand what you’re doing so you can correct it technical, tactically and strategically.

Whether it’s your grip, swing, the force with which you hit the ball, it’s hard to know what’s causing you to lose points. Racketware allows you to see every shot you hit –diced and sliced into 12 different metrics measured in thousandths of a second, live, in real-time and represented in easy-to-understand graphs and illustrations on your phone instantly while you’re on court.
You can work with your coach and get expert instructions to work on specific elements of your swing or technique with this level of error-proof measurement.
Now combine the video with the sensor and you’ve got the perfect training environment to be able to see and assess what you actually did.
As you become more comfortable with the technology, you’ll come to appreciate the priceless value of the feedback loop to inform you and your coach about what you need to fix, why you need to fix it and how to fix it.

MENTAL MISTAKES WORKSHOP
We all know squash is a technically challenging sport, which is why we’re addicted to it, but here’s the thing… It takes years to master the physically, athletic and technical skills to play it well and yet all it takes is an instant to blow a point, game or match – due to mental mistakes. Mistakes that are quick and easy to avoid if you know…
You should attend this workshop if you want to avoid the most common mental mistakes that can be easily avoided. Whatever your current level of play, you are playing opponents who are physically equal to you – gaining a mental edge will give you a secret advantage that when properly applied means you will start to win more games WITHOUT any additional technical, physical or athletic training.
- How to prepare yourself for the stress and strain of competition. Turning the excitement and arousal into a positive rather than a problem.
- How not to lose focus during a rally. Without this tip, you risk losing a lot of points you should be winning.
- How to make sure you maintain momentum when winning and re-gain it when you lose a few points in a row. Most games (matches) are won or lost on momentum shifts. With this one technique, you can shift it in YOUR favour – instantly.
- How to prepare properly, without getting into superstitious rituals. We’ve all heard the dictum: Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance. Mental preparation is just as important as having a spare racket on hand.

SUCCESSFUL SQUASH STRATEGIES
This “home study” program will take you through the evolutionary process of developing a solid understanding of deliberate practice principles as well as self-awareness essential for mastery at the highest levels of performance.
Even though created with elite players in mind, any social squash player will benefit at his/her level of performance and commitment. The content included in this subscription has helped hundreds of squash players play better because most players get to a point where the mental/psychological aspect of their game is what lets them down. They realise they should be able to play better, not lose to ‘inferior’/lower graded opponents, not be as anxious about playing and stop making so many unforced errors.
Simply put, this program will help you make the most of every hour you spend on court so you can play your best mentally using the same techniques professional squash players use to improve quickly and achieve the highest level of consistency.
At every level of athletic performance, it’s the mental aspect of the game that makes the difference. Physically and technically two opponents are “equal” but it’s the one with his/her head in the right place that will win – often, decisively.
This content is largely unknown to most squash players, which is why learning these strategies makes such a big difference to players who listen and give them an honest attempt. A 10-20% improvement within the first month is quite common…

FULL PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
This 1-hour session evaluates each of the 18 core technical skills required to play squash.
The primary goal is to determine your starting point, or current level of skill.
The primary goal is to identify the specific areas of improvement to work on, to find the "lowest hanging fruits" for quick wins to build motivational momentum. Often, there are simple underlying issues that can be addressed
effectively if identified with a numerical tool to reduce subjective judgment and perceptual distortion and bias.
Our natural desire to see ourselves as better than we really are is self-destructive and
counter-productive to our development.
You will receive the full assessment results in electronic format for future reference and the categorisation of your ability; (beginner, intermediate, advanced, etc.) You will also be provided a training and practice plan to address the most important issues affecting your results.

SENSOR CLINIC
This personalised clinic will review the various functions of the racketware sensor’s capabilities. You may not know that The Academy has been instrumental in its research and development for the past 2 years providing technical input to make it more user friendly and useful for both social (fun) play as well as high performance feedback for those who engage in Deliberate Practice Principles.
Each clinic will be dedicated to refining your understanding of the technology so you can extract the most value and resolve any underlying issues. These will be conveniently scheduled throughout the year and will be held on-court to enable live demonstration and clarifications.

DELIBERATE PRACTICE PRINCIPLES WORKSHOP
You can spend countless hours “trying stuff,” but unless you have a proven system that works, you could in fact be reinforcing a bad habit that makes things worse, hard to change and in some cases, impossible to get rid of.
Deliberate Practice is a methodology used by the best in the world including Olympians, World Champions and Commonwealth Games athletes. Now you can tap into this powerful approach to create a breakthrough, the ‘quantum leap’ forward you need to get to your next performance level.
The power of Deliberate Practice Principles is that they apply to all human endeavours, not just sport. It’s a framework, a process that is scientifically designed to make the most of every single minute you invest in developing a new skill or ability to create the biggest breakthrough(s) in the least amount of time.
Deliberate Practice Principles are how you can manufacture breakthroughs faster and easier. The 1 Percent Improvement Doctrine is at the core of this scientifically proven methodology, but every once in a while, a quantum leap forward can be made when Deliberate Practice Principles are in play. Deliberate Practice Principles increase the frequency of quantum leaps and create a predictable environment where they will blossom disproportionately as if ‘by magic’.
But it’s a process with definite steps. This is not opinion, but PURE SCIENCE. It works each and every time. Predictably and definitively.
