It’s more than just hitting a ball against a wall.
For a contingent of Guyana’s most promising squash talents, a rigorous seven-day high-performance training camp in Paraguay is proving to be a deep dive into the science of athletic excellence.
The camp is underpinned by a recently activated Memorandum of Understanding between the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) and the Paraguayan Olympic Committee.
This ground-breaking collaboration has paved the way for three male and two female athletes to benefit from an environment where data drives development and progress is meticulously measured.
The Guyanese athletes participating in this intensive programme are:
Mary Fung-A-Fat
Kirsten Gomes
Samuel Ince-Carvalhal
Louis Da Silva
Mohrayn Baksh
The camp’s comprehensive schedule is designed to enhance every facet of their game.
Key areas of focus include crucial strength and performance assessments, allowing for a data-driven approach to identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
This is complemented by targeted strength and conditioning sessions, dynamic court work, and focused circuit training.
Furthermore, the athletes receive expert guidance on nutrition, doubles play strategy, essential footwork drills, and engaging in competitive play to hone their match readiness.
This initiative, born from the formal activation of the GOA-Paraguayan Olympic Committee MoU, signifies a significant step in leveraging international partnerships to boost athlete development and performance through scientifically backed methods.
