Squash Canada will send a team of four women to the Junior Women's World Squash Championships in Chennai, India, from July 29 to August 8, 2009. The team will blog to this space on a regular basis.
Hello fans! Our journey has begun here in Toronto, where Jess is preparing the girls for a World Championship. Training is tough; we are focusing on particular skills every day, followed by ridiculously difficult fitness sessions post-squash. And some slip ‘n’ slide to cool down at the end of a long day’s work. A nice dinner Thursday night was a good way to bond and relax a bit, plus we got to visit with Coach Leah’s little guy Carter! Back on court, the energy and intensity is high, and everyone here is getting more excited every day. Count down: 5 days, approximately 100 hours. By: Sam Cornett
