Why I like squash

Many people do not know much, if anything, about squash. And those that have heard about it confuse if with lacrosse, tennis, or racquetball. Squash is a sport that originated in Europe and had its rise in popularity in the 20th century. The sport is played with two people on a court. Both players use their own squash racquet to hit a small rubber ball to a front wall. The objective of the game is to make sure that your opponent cannot hit the ball to the front wall.

Squash is a really fast paced sport, competitive sport. But it is also an extremely fun sport. . Collegiate squash is amazing because these athletes are great squash players and they do not work alone like the professionals. They work on a team. Each player only needs to count on him/herself to win the match, but counts on his entire team to beat the opponent. Squash allows one to have that sense of a team because each player practices with his/her team and hopes for them to win their matches just as much as they push for their own victory. Squash is also a sport that anyone can play. I have personally played with people who were amazing squash players and were 60 or 70 years old. Squash keeps people young. Someone may not be able to move as fast as he could when he was twenty, but he can definitely play better.

Squash is an amazing sport because it is all about deception. Good squash players keep an eye on their opponent in order to anticipate the next shot. Some one may think, "his body is back wall so he is probably going to hit a backhand boast," and most of the time, the anticipating person will be correct. But a great squash player knows how to deceive He can occasionally have a bad form and still make the shot. He can form up for a rail and hit a drop to the nick. Squash heightens one's reflexes just because of the unanticipated shots. Squash is plainly an amazing sport all around.
