World #1 Mohamed El Shorbagy on becoming unstoppable.
<p>“I used to be the kind of person who put so much pressure on himself; which definitely worked in big parts of my career. I mean I was able to get to the top of the rankings at 23 this way. But I felt that if I wanted to have a long career, I couldn’t do that for a long time because it takes so much out of you mentally.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“That’s why a lot of athletes who lose their Number 1 spot struggle to get back again, because it’s not easy to accept that someone has raised the bar over you. And that’s the toughest part, is knowing that the level you played at when you were World Number 1 is not acceptable anymore.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“But when I said I only accept being number 1, I didn’t mean world number 1, I meant playing as a winner. I don’t mind losing, but the way I was losing that season I wasn’t playing as a winner.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“I fought this way for myself; because I don’t want to have regrets. When I lose this way I’m not ever going to have regrets. But if I lost because I haven’t trained hard or I was not motivated, then I will remember this for the rest of my career.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“Being the best is not about getting everything right every time you go on court. It’s about finding a way to win when you’re not playing your best.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“The mind is everything. The reason I got back last season was not because I trained harder than everyone else, it’s because I believed that I was going to come back there again.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>Recommended Books:</p> <p>Relentless by Tim Grover - www.amazon.co.uk/Relentless-Unsto…er/dp/1476714207</p> <p>The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho - <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alchemist-Fable-%E2%80%A6ng=UTF8&qid=&sr=">www.amazon.co.uk/Alchemist-Fable-…ng=UTF8&qid=&sr=</a></p> <p>--</p> <p>Keep up to date with all that Mohamed is doing on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @moelshorbagy</p> <p><br></p>

Former World #9 Laurens Jan Anjema on turning the page.
<p>“I believe in total squash; I think some coaches are obsessed with making you hit the ball cleanly or having the perfect hitting technique, but hitting is only a small part of the game.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“When I retired in June 2016 I was just really happy to stay at home, to be in one place for a long time. Retirement felt like a warm bath!”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“I discovered this almost by accident during my career, that some of my best results were not the times when I was most disciplined, but actually the times when I just let go.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“I think this is great about being a writer, now it’s not about me. Suddenly I’m a fly on the wall.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>“If something gives you great satisfaction, then you should do everything to take all of the obstacles out of the way; and often the obstacles are in your mind.”</p> <p>-</p> <p>LJ's Book Recommendation: </p> <p>Wonder Valley by Ivy Pachoda - <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonder-Valley-Ivy-Pochoda/dp/006265635X">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonder-Valley-Ivy-Pochoda/dp/006265635X</a></p> <p>-</p> <p>Keep up to date with all that LJ is doing on his website www.laurensanjema.com, on Twitter @ljanjema, and Instagram @laurensjananjema</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
