Welcome to the very first post in my squash blog. My name is Pierre Bastien and I’ve been playing squash since I was about 13 years old. I played on the varsity teams at Exeter and Princeton. These days I play once or twice a week, mostly to stay in shape.
I started this website, Squash Source, over a year ago with the idea that I had all this useful squash knowledge in my head that could be useful to other people. So far I’ve published a number of static pages with information on how to get started in squash.
Today, almost on a whim, I’m starting a companion blog. I will include any insights from my regular play. I’m not sure how often I’ll update this blog, but I’m guessing there will be 1-4 posts per month.
I hope, by writing about squash, to improve my own game, and also perhaps to improve my writing. I’m also scratching an itch of mine — I often think of little ideas I’d like to post about squash, but I’ve never created a forum for those ideas. In addition, I’d like to connect with others in the squash community.
So, here’s hoping this blog is useful for us both.
