Which age category does your child compete in? E.g. Boys U17, or Girls U15.

How old is your child (date of birth), and when will he/she age up?

What is your child's current rating and ranking?

Who is your child's current coach?

I have played squash or another sport at a comparably competitive level (as my child) in the past?

I regularly put myself in my child's shoes, including appreciating his/her academic pressures, social pressures, pressure of appearances, fitting in, meeting expectations and more, in the modern world of social media where everything is instantaneously available and recordable.

I support my child in the same way I was supported by my parents.

I listen to what my child says, and I respect their requests regarding how I support them.

My child thinks they know best, but I know best. I am the parent after all, and I have far more experience than them.

My child does not listen to my advice, no matter how nicely I suggest it.

I know very little about squash technique, tactics, physical fitness, and mental strength.

I have been very successful in my life, so my child should respect what I have to say, and follow it.

I sit and watch my child's practice sessions, and chime in with helpful advice.

I communicate with my child's coach(es) regularly to ensure that everyone is on the same page.

If my child gains admission to a specific Ivy league college, it will mean the world to me, and I can't wait to share it with the world.

Squash is a tough sport, so I schedule training for my child before and after school most days of the week. 

My child is extremely gifted academically and is a straight A, honors student.

I understand the following nuances about squash: deception, disguise, space, choice, speed onto and off shots, variations in contact point and deception.

I understand the following nuances about squash: racquet preparation, racquet head speed, contact point, body position, and creating a line through the ball.

I understand the following nuances about squash: it is an aerobic-anaerobic hybrid sport. The ATP-CP system is also important. This has a direct impact on the type of training to complete, as well as nutrition, hydration, rest and recovery protocols.

I am confident that I know why my child loses and wins their matches.

My child complains of feeling over whelmed, over worked, and at times looks dejected given the uphill battle required to be a top squash player.

I am confident that I have the tools, experience, and knowledge to help my child maximize their potential in squash.

I have the ability, and tools, to calm my mind and step away from anxious thoughts, to a non-judgmental, very aware, state of flow.
