They say squash is physical chess. Well nothing could be more truer. I was out with a knee injury for a year and now that i'm back into it, my confidence is shattered. I'm always scared that i'm going to damage my ligaments again and therefore am over compensating on the other leg. Secondly, i just can't seem into hang in there any more when it comes to those tough games....guys who i was competitive with are now killing me.

Any suggestions on mental training, i'm getting desperate and more and more disconcerted by the day.

Having had a ACL done myself I can empathise fully.

You are incharge of yourself, monitor all sessions by feel, any unusual pain or weakness , see you massage or physio person.
