Squash, sometimes called a sport of strategy, is explored in-depth by Trinity Squash Coach Paul Assaiante, the most successful coach in college sports history. In this conversation with Paul Assaiante, we discuss his philosophy of coaching, how he’s been guided by his personal purpose, the best ways to train, motivate and guide a team of individual athletes to bring out their best. We also look at the role of empathy in coaching, how to learn, improve and perform under stress, and the way to get the best out of everyone. He also addresses some of the challenges of coaching in today’s environment, with the perils of social media, helicopter parenting and coming to grips with one’s emotions.
