...exactly the same as my squash day. Right up until I finish the last pancake!

This is really good, this dude is a beast

[@daveywavey8215]

Paul Coll is easily becoming one of my favorite players

[@akgarceau]

Squash needs to market their stars more if it wants the game to grow and these videos are a great first step.

[@squashtv]

Our thinking entirely!

[@dickyo6952]

wtf u on about. This is a small little squash club in Hoofddorp in the Netherlands....... Nothing to Market there really

[@arthurillidge9829]

@@dickyo6952 tf are you talking about

[@dickyo6952]

@@arthurillidge9829 i will repeat myself.. The squash club there is old and poorly maintained.... So not something u wanna promote and players go there.

[@arthurillidge9829]

[@ShellysAshes]

This is amazing. They do all this on a shoestring budget without the benefit of a whole entourage of people supporting them and pushing them like the tennis players have. Paul Coll will be close to the top of the rankings in a few years I have no doubt.

[@Brad-xr7gp]

Do they really make that little? Does a player make money for reaching day a QF,SF & F or do they only take home any prize money for winning?

[@Siatkowkarzadzi]

They earn money for every round but... The prize is the overall budget for awards for each stage of the tournament. I think Greg got only $48K out of $325K for winning World Championships

[@ShellysAshes]

And when you compare that to what tennis players make in comparative tournaments, I think you earn a similar amount for reaching the first round of Wimbledon as you do for winning the PSA World Championship!

Love Paul Coll's and Nele Gilis's work ethic. These videos are Inspiring!

[@squashnow8809]

It would be amazing to get this broadcast on TV, maybe a whole series of documentaries covering different players. This really is top class work by experienced professionals and deserves more than a featured youtube video.

[@juancarlosdiaz7180]

After 3 years, he’s the British Open Champion

[@maseraticc2834]

I recently saw Paul Coll playing at Canary Wharf - he cuts an immense physique now five years on from when this video was filmed. Absolutely amazing player, so powerful and strong!

[@naominohar9251]

Love the stringing machine at 1:40 ! They do their own rackets I presume

[@yunginspirit3162]

They are the cutest couple, and Paul is one handsome dude! A pleasure to watch on the courts.

[@tensor131]

love these 'day with ..' videos. Keep 'em coming

Respect earned !

Excellent video. Paul and Nele work so hard!

[@crk1982]

Really good video squash tv ! Coll is a beast, one of my favorite players!

[@BerthilvanBeek]

Great player and nice to see the video, the whole 'A day with...' series really helps to connect with the players. Also good to see there is (what seems to be) a bottle of beer next to the supplements at 1:40 :) (top shelf).

[@shapes2000]

Great video. Thanks for the insight into a great player.

Shame he's burst onto the scene a little late, however he's smashing it and I wish him the best for the new season!

Hope to have...A day with ramy ashour

[@russellbaker4256]

+1 Ramy's comeback prep would be eye-opening, no doubt

[@krishgoyal8965]

He retired😢

[@dallasreid7755]

Lucky to have a training partner. Very lonely otherwise.

[@huntrichardson]

This daily grind takes a lot of self discipline and persistent will to train to win I hope he budgets some chill time to balance things out...a walk in the woods, boating, fishing etc

[@sebastiansony2000]

What is the background music? Please make more videos like this!!

[@bmw-e30]

Super player who is also great to watch.

[@Brad-xr7gp]

I now start my day with stretching though I feel it's not very squash specific has anyone got a good link to a routine to run through?

I hope A day with nicol David will be next.. 👍🏻

Was this filmed in Holland? Looks a lot like it :O

[@ohuioble]

Anyone knows what stretching video they watch at the beginning?

[@SquashFitnessTips]

No idea. However, I can put together a morning squash stretching video for you. How much time in the morning do you have for a stretching session?

[@Ceris2]

Does anyone know what the second song is? Plays while they are practicing squash...

[@kenzyayman135]

Please new video from Paul 2020

True, true! Have edited the video description

[@L_U_L_U255]

5:44 is that a muscle up?

[@shafaqcute8957]

Superhero

[@opensourcecurrency]

Great player, and if he either makes number 1 OR has a long injury-free career then the cross-fit style weight training will be a "game-changer". However, he is 25 years old. If he keeps progressing his lifts, will his upper body be too big for squash at 29? -- Federer serves harder than Nadal and will likely have a longer career, despite very little chest and arm development by comparison. Of course this is small sample size and there are too many variables that go into producing a squash world no.1, but I'd bet future number ones will still look and train more like this guy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXjUmaSjjs-Apqc than these guys: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV6yn5h7ic59Y7c Palmer and Dittmar were big, strong guys (and Mosaad now) but I wonder if they intentionally restricted their upper body mass during their playing careers...They rarely could handle Jansher and i don't see Omar beating Farag much 3/5. Stay lean and lithe, Superman...

[@lordjimbo2]

I've met Palmer. He's big, fast and coordinated enough that he could have been a pro in several sports.

[@didoamr4962]

Please do one with ramy ashour or Mohamed elshorbagy or Ali farag

We have... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbJfYd5pc2CqKc

We've got another one set-up but haven't shot it yet. Will leave the player as a surprise. Might be a couple of weeks as a flurry of tournaments lately!

Hope he warms up first before those morning stretches!

[@dallasreid7755]

That's what I was thinking!

[@Jace1511]

The body is already warm if you stretch straight after waking

[@shahg25]

No fancy car!

[@afadly]

You need to wash the court walls, ha ha

[@xdwashh8604]

hey that is in the netherlands lol

[@sitarhead1806]

I personally think doing heavy weights makes your muscles stronger but you lose fine agility, If you notice Paul's shots, his ball control is quite horrible, what do you guys think?

[@QuasiELVIS]

I don't see why it would affect your ball control but it would make most people heavier and thus slower round the court and less flexible... that's obviously not a problem for him though.

[@sitarhead1806]

Yeah Paul is quick, I've feel the bulkier your muscles, the lesser fine control your mind has on them - look at Jansher Khan's physique.

[@QuasiELVIS]

It's not brain surgery, they're hitting a squash ball.

[@Moose92411]

Sitarhead I think you're goddamn insane 😂

[@sitarhead1806]

I think so too :)

[@krishgoyal8965]

Are Paul and Gilis Dating?

[@squashtv]

yup

[@conanthanoz19]

I don't mind the "concept" of music during slow-motion-training videos, but could you guys try to find music that's a bit less "lyrics" filled in future? Hearing the same "I feel like a ghost" line over and over is really weird and distracting. There's techno out there that doesn't have heavy-handed lyrics. Maybe try Royksopp or better yet - Vitalic, this song would match well with the training/improvement vibe - kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfTm2ePid6FY80

[@pepoeste4502]

Love to see a day in live with Sarah Jane Perry

[@MonsieurShibbles]

Unshaved armpits enhances the fitness.

[@jstello]

How in the world is this not an Olympic sport? It's it because the best players are not American or Russian?

[@stilusfractus7930]

I don't know the exact reason but, anyway, squash hadn't lent itself too well to be televised until recently because of 25-30fps broadcast standard and resolution. The ball was simply both too fast and small. Actually, it still is, since most viewers don't own fancy new TV screens.

[@stilusfractus7930]

One more possible reason comes to mind: until recently squash wasn't that fun to watch (many squash players argue that it's still boring to watch live). Until 1990 the tin was higher, until 2015 it was still higher for women and the double yellow ball (or the white single yellow equivalent for glass courts) was introduced only in 2000. I guess the traditional (before 1996) scoring system, point on serve only, didn't help to bring the sport to the masses.

[@tobybloch399]

When your a professional squash player and you spend 60 min hitting the ball in a day

Carrying heavy weight with no belt to support the back ????
