FeaturedHurricane Irma

Dedicated to an old and stoic friend, Tim Rowbottom.

The essence of a stoic athlete is that they will move well irregardless of external influences.

Proverbs of Squash : 17 Tight Drives.

Better is a tight drive with depth

than a court full of open play and errors.

Proverbs of Squash : 16 court sprints.

An athlete prepares their psychology,

but the outcome of competition is beyond their control.

All of an athletes ways seem right to them,

But coaches examine more thoroughly.

Commit to conscious training,

and your plans will succeed.

An athlete makes everything work for their purpose,

even negativity is overcome with diligent optimism.
