  • Hi everyone, slightly different style of video today! Thought I would go into a bit more depth about how I felt during my 2 events in Egypt. Starting off with Black Ball and then moving on to El Gouna.
    Hope you enjoy it, please let me know if this is something you want to see more of!

    Thanks for sharing, found this very informative gaining some understanding on the back end side of top ranking tournaments. Had no idea of how tough it actually is both physically and psychologically. This game is relentless. Good luck and well done on the rise on rankings.

    • @teammaliksquash
      @teammaliksquash  5 месяцев назад

      Yeah to be honest it's extremely tough at every level of pro squash it's just relative to the level you play at. So many players grinding away working super hard that will never be heard of. So this platform just shows how it is in reality. Thanks for watching

    Loved the casual style to this, I actually prefer a voice over to the in person vlogging, The camera work is better and a much more calm approach from yourself as you've had time to reflect and think about what you want to talk about, top video and well played 🎉

    Nice video. Great insight into the goings-on in big tournaments. Just out of curiosity don't you get to train with the Shorbagys since they now play for Britain.

    Interesting point about the late finish. Do you have a preference for when you play matches?

    • @teammaliksquash
      @teammaliksquash  5 месяцев назад

      Maybe slightly prefer playing early afternoon but I really don't mind to be honest. I'm quite adaptable which helps

    I like the style: giving us a window into your experience from travel to recovery. It looked like pretty sweet accommodations. Did the event put you up?

    • @teammaliksquash
      @teammaliksquash  5 месяцев назад +3

      Thank you! Accommodation was great at both events. They provide us the hotel the night before your first round until 2 nights after you lose. Any other days you stay around that we have to pay

    That was really interesting seeing the back scenes and some of your psychological angles of dealing with all the aspects of the game. Especially on the road in a tournament setting. Looks like a beautiful place to go by the way! I appreciate the time you take the invite us into your squash world.

    • @teammaliksquash
      @teammaliksquash  5 месяцев назад +1

      Glad you found it interesting. It sure is a mix of emotions being on tour competing against a range of world class players but I'm so grateful to be doing it

    • @SuperSnarr
      @SuperSnarr 5 месяцев назад +1

      By the way, I also really appreciated the strategy analysis of how you played different matches. I’m sort of new to the game. I don’t understand the nuances. But I didn’t enjoy how you explain different strategies about how different players play and how you play them.the whole thing was great! Keep it up!

    • @apt981

      @@teammaliksquash instances like that would be good to tell in your videos. That kind of level of detail would be a nice insight Do you have any points you have remembered to a T and can tell every detail on what goes on in your head at that moment? What does the mind do? I understand time slows down due to the level of focus and it's like a movie in slow motion. Would you say you are at fit at the number 1 in the world? What is the fitness like in-between the gaps?
