"It did seem very effective, this new approach. Mike Hall' s shiny tracksuit bottoms bounded around the count like a pair of india-rubber aubergines as he sniped the ball effortlessly up against the back wall.      'Are you feel tired?' he inquired politely.'  "The answer, privately, was yes: Hall, playwright, mystic and professional squash guru with the possible answer to Britain's sporting problems is a daunting opponent on many levels"  - The Guardian

   

"The Aubergine Man continued to spray the ball about laconically. He seems to have gelatine hips, revolving them this way and that like a demented Hawaiian. 'Our centres of gravity are too high ,' he continued, gracefully pirouetting into a fearsome overhead smash. 'One of the reasons Jonah Barrington was a great player was that he had a low centre of gravity.' This is the core of Hall's thesis. British sports stars, he argues, over-develop their upper bodies at the expense of inner suppleness. Put crudely, our leading lights topple over too easily. The slippery Hall, in contrast, is positively buoyant.      'In theory there should be movement and stillness at the same time,' he intoned from the back of the court, cracking away another winner."  - The Guardian

 

"The guru continued: 'What we have come to understand is that people who apply for lessons bring with them more than a decision to be better squash players. For me to improve their game I knew I had to address the whole aspect of the individual.' "  - The Guardian
