Squash is a conditionally intensive sport and it has some relation to tennis; it is a racket game played by two people. Unlike tennis, squash players do not face each other but side by side and can use the walls. Therefore, there is no net and the (soft) ball is always played against the opposite wall.

“To improve on the things we love to do, that is true satisfaction. If squash is the thing you love to do, I’d like to help you out with just that! Every week, I aim to develop myself between those three walls and the glass. Acting as a trainer, I get to bring that mentality and my passion for the sport with me every session. I tend to focus on beginners and students, but I’d like to see if I can help anyone however I can.
Would you like to grow with me by your side on the courts? Then don’t hesitate to send me an email or strike up a conversation in the sports center!“
