I played squash for a second week against 3.0 and 3.5 opponents. I am very pleased with how my body held up. No ill effects on my neck condition after a good 50 minutes of play. I require 45 minutes of pre-game conditioning that involves the stationary bike, core exercises, stretches, hamstrings, quads, and calves exercises. I will continue the routine and add a third day of squash.
On playing, staying calm and alternating the pace are areas I have to continue to train for. I'm doing better at creating space to the ball and not overrunning the ball. Two major shot making weaknesses are the lob and the cross. The lob needs more height and the cross needs less angle and more pace or height. Taking the ball off the side wall needs a lot of work! Footwork the perennial irritant again needs practice with landing on the correct foot as well as planting firmly before hitting the ball.
Aside from these minor complaints returning to sport has been fruitful these past two weeks. I'm hoping for more good news in the coming weeks.
