Welcome to Dazzler’s Corner

This is my first proper attempt at a blog for my new website. It seems to be all the rage to have a website and have a blog so I thought I would follow the latest trend and do the same. My aim is to provide an insight into the mind of a squash player but also for other squash enthusiasts to chat and comment about all aspects of the game and the tour. I hope to add some videos to the site as well with a variety of things to keep people mildly entertained!

So the season so far has been a little disappointing for myself in that I’ve been struggling with a few niggling injuries. After 10 weeks of good training it’s been frustrating that I’ve not been able to play a match this season pain free. But I hope to be fit for the World Open in Rotterdam which should be a great event, and fantastic to see it being played in Europe along with the women. I feel like I’m hitting the ball well and at 28 years old the next couple of seasons are going to define my career. I want to reach the top 8 in the world and I believe I can get there. I just need to produce the sort of form that won me the British Championships in February more often, and when that happens I’ll let you know about it!

I’m going to get back to watching psasquashtv as my good mate Peter Barker is just about to play James Willstrop in the quarters of Qatar. This tournament has produced quite a few upsets, due to the guys having one eye on the worlds, a tricky court in Qatar and some really hungry younger players. It’s good to see some new faces in the quarters, and I’m half wishing that I had played!

I’ll produce a blog every couple of weeks and if you have any suggestions as to what you would like to hear about then let me know.
