Remote Tournament Coaching

9 time US Champion Julian Illingworth and his team of experienced squash professionals offer remote squash coaching at US Squash sanctioned tournaments.

Overview of our service

  • For each match in the event, our tournament coaching consists of three components.
    • Pre match check in ~10 minutes before going on court.
      • Discuss how the athlete is feeling, gather thoughts and provide gameplan advice if approriate.
      • Address any specific issues or concerns, opponent, conditions, etc.
      • Promote and assist with positive self talk and positive outlook for the upcoming match. 
    • During Match
      • Provide advice and feedback on strategy and tactics.
      • Offer encouragement and emotional support between games. Help instill confidence with the athlete.
    • Post match
      • Quick check in via video with the student, encouragement and any important closing thoughts.
      • Provide a short age approriate written match analysis based on our proven template.
        • Note of winners and errors and locations.
        • Track serve return errors / weak shots.
        • One or two important talking points about the match, reflections for the next match.
        • If coached for multiple matches in an event, these will be consolodated into one report, delivered at the culmination of the event.

What we require from the parent on site

  • Good video feed setup (most important!) – facetime, google video, zoom etc. Getting the video setup to see the entire court is ideal.
  • Airpods or similar for student to be able to talk and hear us effectively, talking into the phone doesn’t work well in a crowded space.
  • Making sure water, towel, and any other necessary supplies are on hand and available in between games.

Pricing

  • $150 per match
  • $500 for a 4 match tournament, with $100 additional per match beyond 4 matches.
