FIVE promising Guyanese squash players are undergoing a rigorous seven-day high-performance training camp in Paraguay, leveraging a recently activated Memorandum of Understanding between the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) and the Paraguayan Olympic Committee.

The initiative aims to provide the athletes with a data-driven environment focused on enhancing various aspects of their game through scientifically backed methods.

The participating athletes are: Mary Fung-A-Fat, Kirsten Gomes, Samuel Ince-Carvalhal, Louis Da Silva and Mohrayn Baksh,

The intensive programme includes strength and performance assessments to identify strengths and areas for improvement, followed by targeted strength and conditioning sessions, dynamic court work, and circuit training.

Athletes are also receiving expert guidance on nutrition, doubles play strategy, footwork drills, and engaging in competitive play to improve match readiness.

The collaboration, formalised by the GOA-Paraguayan Olympic Committee MoU, represents a step in utilising international partnerships to bolster athlete development and performance.
