Breaking it down

I over think my squash game. Two losses including this morning's against Sandeep have me thinking again, but this time I see a new angle. There are only three things I have to execute on.

Watching
Readying and moving
Preparing and hitting

There are only a few things I want in my results too.

Good pace
Good depth
Good placement

Numerous reasons for why execution fails to deliver results. This morning I would say I failed to stay calm. I started out worrying about aches and pain making me stiff and unresponsive. So I pumped myself up. I started out watching pretty well, but it was surely spotty. When the pressure was on, my shots fell short. That was chiefly due to my hitting from a low position and not hitting the ball high enough to go deep enough. Tonight's match will have to be different. I need to think and execute hitting service line and deep.
