squash stats
How to improve your Squash rating
The fastest way to improve your Squash rating is to play against people slightly above your level. Wins against stronger opponents push your rating up significantly; losses to them barely move it down. Conversely, playing only people you usually beat will plateau your rating because the system already expects you to win. Find players one tier above and challenge them.
Why this matters for squash players
There's a difference between tracking stats for self-improvement and tracking them for bragging rights. The good news is the same data feeds both. Score every match in a single app and the numbers are there when you need them.
How Volley tracks this automatically
Volley tracks this automatically. Score every match in the app and the relevant stats update in real time. No spreadsheets, no manual entry, no missed matches. Free on iOS and Android.
Tips for improving
If your stats are stagnating, the problem is usually opponent variety, not technique. Most players plateau because they've found a comfort zone — same group, same skill level, same outcomes. Mix in matches against stronger players and the numbers start moving again.
