This summer, the Paris Olympic Games kicked off wonderfully, and the Shanghai Citizen Sports Festival also allowed citizens to experience the excitement of the "Olympic Games around Allah" this August. On August 8, a special fan welfare squash event jointly organized by Xuhui District Media Center and Vesta Squash Restaurant and Tavern came as scheduled. Six Fusion Media fans experienced the charm of squash for the first time.
At 7 pm, the squash activities officially started in the vesta deli & squash restaurant and pub of Xuhui Vanke Plaza. Fans participating in the event include not only 8-year-old primary school students, young people in their 20s, but also 60-year-old seniors. Everyone is enthusiastic about this event.
The coach started with a warm-up, asking the fans to move their bodies first, and then taught the grip and swing postures. The coach instructs fans on correct postures one by one to make everyone's movements more standardized. Then there is continuous training, three-step walking, swinging the racket to hit the ball, and letting the squash ball return in a straight line. After several practices, although the fans have some feel, they are still a little unskilled when practicing the swing in the entire venue. The coach encouraged the fans while adjusting their postures. After one hour of teaching training, they were still a little unskilled. The shot ended.
Squash, as a niche sport, is a racket sport like badminton and tennis. However, compared with badminton and tennis, the trajectory of the ball is bounced off three walls, resulting in a wider range. , the arc is larger and the rhythm is faster. This allows people's eyes to move flexibly with the movement of the ball when playing squash, and their concentration will be improved accordingly. "Although it is my first time to play squash, its consistency is incomparable to when I played badminton before. These two hours of training are really enjoyable." The 60-year-old Aunt Tian is not inferior to the young people. Physically, there was almost no rest throughout the entire activity, just constant practice. This may be closely related to Aunt Tian's insistence on exercising. Running and dancing are her daily hobbies.
"My shoulders are really a little sore." "I didn't expect playing squash to be so physically demanding." "I will play again next time, it's quite interesting."... The two-hour event ended quickly, and the fans I left the court reluctantly, still not satisfied with my first squash experience.
