Squash
- Tips, Tales and Travels
by Roy Ollier
Roy
Ollier, a talented player and teacher of squash, who hails from
Australia and currently lives in San Antonio Texas, has self published
this wonderfully unique and captivating squash treatise.
Ollier's
book, put together entirely by himself, is somewhat quirky in its
approach and combines a highly personal, autobiographical backdrop
with some insightful and valuable contributions to squash coaching.
After
a few fascinating sections chronicling his life as a touring pro,
Ollier goes on to outline a number of well though out drilling sequences
for improving your game. He devotes considerable attention as well
to the mental and tactical elements of the game.
For
the squash enthusiast, this book is like no other squash book ---
within the framework of an account of a life in squash it will teach
you some valuable lessons about the game.
This
75-page gem will take you from the island-hoppers in New Guinea,
to the revolutionary 80s in central America, to the practice court
with a series of well thought drills, to Ollier's next game in San
Antonio. Get this book!
