How Should You Review a Squash Match After Playing?

Review your match briefly and honestly, focusing on patterns and decisions rather than individual mistakes.

After a match, give yourself a while to cool down before reviewing, perhaps even an hour or two. Ask yourself two questions: what worked well, and what one thing would you do differently? Keeping it to one improvement point stops you from becoming overwhelmed. Write it down if you can. Avoid replaying bad shots repeatedly in your head as this reinforces negative patterns. Over time, brief consistent reviews build self-awareness faster than long in=depth analysis.
