Physical benefits

IMPROVES HEALTH

According to a study by Forbes Magazine®, squash was at the top of the leader board for healthiest sport in the world.

Playing squash improves endurance, cardiovascular fitness, strength, agility, coordination, and burns significant calories. It is a great way to reduce stress and unwind after a long day. Exercise releases endorphins - chemicals in the brain that makes one feel better, reducing feelings of anxiety and depression.

Squash is a high-intensity, interval-based exercise that elevates heart rate, challenges the body, stimulates the mind, and enhances well-being.

BUILDS CONFIDENCE

Playing squash can help in building confidence and self-esteem. Players feel more confident as skills improve and competition against others advances. This extends to career and personal interactions as well.

BOOSTS MINDFULNESS

Playing squash aids mindfulness and problem-solving ability – keeping players in-the-moment, processing information (strategy/angles/tactics/opportunities).
