19/07/2010 - Callum O'Brien has been relatively unheard of on the Squash scene over the last few years since he was forced to stop playing in 2007. He has however, just released a training kit called SquashFIT, which is designed to make it easy for Squash Players and Coaches to help improve their skills and fitness, and he is currently selling online at www.squashfit.co.nz. |
Callum's ongoing hip injury has prevented him from playing competitive Squash since winning the 2007 National Championships in Christchurch and he has only recently returned to the court to run early morning training sessions for keen local players in Auckland. These sessions are based on training techniques and knowledge from his playing days, and with some trial and error Callum believes he has come up with an excellent resource for anyone wanting more variance in their Squash sessions.
“It is always hard to find a group of players the same level to train together. I had a group of 10 players, ranging from E2 woman to B1 men so I started putting together sessions that didn't rely on players of equal ability working together. I found the best way to do this was in a “Circuit” type setup, where players moved around the courts and did a different solo fitness or skill station at each point. Players are never too good or bad to practice the different skills on the skill stations, and they can push themselves at their own pace (with the help of me yelling at them) on the fitness stations. The sessions seem to go much faster this way and with the cards to work with, it makes session planning so quick and easy”.
The SquashFIT kit is perfect for:
- Individuals wanting new ideas for ways to improve their game by practicing alone.
- Club or School teams wanting to train in groups for teams event tournaments.
- Coaches wanting to run squad training for Club, School or Rep Teams.
- Clubs to have available to club teams and individual players.
The SquashFIT kit comes with 50 Laminated Circuit Cards, an instructional DVD showing how each station is done correctly, a pack of Jumbo Chalk (to mark out the court as needed), and the necessary instructions to set up your Squash training sessions quickly and easily. All the exercises can be done by any level of player and are based around those that Callum did during his competitive playing days.
The SquashFIT Kit is available for purchase from www.squashfit.co.nz.
