12. The Skill of Adaptability and the Art of Learning with Graeme Williams

Graeme Williams is one of the most underrated minds in squash. His dedication to the craft of coaching, his humble nature, and genuine care for his students makes him a true gem in the coaching world, and I feel lucky to be under his tutelage! Graeme has coached the Canadian National team for several years (at the Pan Am Games, World Team Championships, and Commonwealth Games), built a full junior and adult program from the ground up in Windsor, Ontario, and was most recently the Head Professional at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. He now coaches privately for a family, assistant coaches for the Princeton University women's varsity team, while also working with several pro players such as myself (World #48), Olivia Weaver (US No 1 and World #4), Marina Stefanoni (World #19), Malak Khafagy (Penn #1 and World #20), and Alina Bushma (World #53). In this episode, we discuss:<ul><li>the art of coaching</li><li>the importance of challenges and competition in practice</li><li>what "skill" really is</li></ul>... and so much more! Have a listen, and let me know what you think in the comments!---Links and Resources:<a href="https://squashletic.mvt.so/sta-mini" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Squashletic App (Online Training Academy) Free Trial</a><a href="https://substack.com/@nicolebunyansquashletic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">My Substack</a>Follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/squashletic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram</a>
