That&#8217;s really a college sport. If you&#8217;ve never seen squash, it&#8217;s kind of like racquetball, though with meaningful differences. I learned a bit about it when I coached at Brown. The squash courts were right outside our office, and the coach&#8217;s office was next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, Assainte&#8217;s teams have won 17 national championships at the time of the article, and at one point won 252 straight matches. No matter what you play, that&#8217;s impressive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the interview Assainte talks about three factors he says determine performance. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preparation<\/strong> &#8211; Practice is everything<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintenance and control of your emotion in the fire<\/strong> &#8211; Can you, in a competitive moment, keep yourself centered and focused?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In-game adjustments<\/strong> &#8211; You have to be aware of what\u2019s going on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think that summarizes things pretty well. Of course, the trick is getting those things right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s more to the piece, so I encourage you to give a read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An enormously successful coach from outside the volleyball world offers up his three keys to high level competitive performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[83,252,322],"class_list":["post-92610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-coaching","tag-coach-psychology","tag-player-psychology","tag-team-psychology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92610\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
