Navigating the Mental Game in Squash: Between Game Strategies

Abstract
Fitness is the price of admission to competitive squash. But from a nutritional and neuroscience point of view, squash is also very much a cognitive chess match of geometry and wit. Squash is different from other sports: there are no time-outs, no regular breaks, no huddling up. The squash player must learn to compete at their best while increasingly physically and mentally fatigued. The only time you can refuel mentally and physically during the match is between games. Those ninety seconds (or two minutes for the professional matches) of recovery and planning are essential. They can provide a springboard for recovery and a plan for what comes next. During this break, you need to replenish your body as well as your mind.
