你/妳相信心態影響一切嗎？
You, do u believe in a mind-set towards attitude has an impact towards everything?
壁球的發球對於初學者很重要，
但你知道選手更應該重視發球與接發球嗎？
Squash’s serving is very important for a beginner; especially for a starter, should focus on serving and receiving a ball...
一次來回裡面的第一球。
這一球你是發了再決定做什麼？
還是打到最好，來逼迫對手製造機會？
For the first ball, do u think of serving it first casually and then see how it goes afterwards? Or, try to serve your best to a corner with a tough angle for competitor to receive? Forcing competitor to provide you a better opportunity to react?
第一球就可看出（ 你的心態在哪裡 ）
The act of first ball will see your mentality towards your competitor/game

努力之外，還要懂的有效利用所有資源，
在比賽的時候，好好思考什麼對自己才是有利的，什麼才能幫助自己發揮表現，但當然是以運動家風範的前提下。
Besides working hard, need to know how to maximize all attainable resources. During competition, need to think thoroughly as to what are advantageous points to you. Which areas to focus could assist you in maximize deployment...of course under sportsmanship’s
看PSA球員有時候都會對著裁判碎念：
Some PSA players using this strategy by keep mumbling to referees...
「他已經累了，他跑不到故意來撞我」
For example...a player would say “he is tired...he could not run to the ball so he would just run to me...”
真正的目的卻是在激勵自己，同時烙印對手，讓他覺得自己真的已經累了。
This strategy is to:
1. Encourage and motivate himself;
2. Make his competitor believing he is really tired...
烙印、同時改變對手心態。
This act and/or strategy is to imprint and change your competitor’s mentality/mindset/thinking...
21歲埃及選手Youssef Ibrahim在近期卡達公開賽，贏過世界第二名El Shorbagy進入八強。
21 year old Egyptian player Youssef Ibrahim won over Shorbagy whom is ranked number 2 in the world. Youseff Ibrahim enter into Top 8.
「你擁有很多潛力，繼續下去你也能成為世界第一」
You have lots of potential. Keep working hard, you could become world number 1。
這句話是賽後Shorbagy對著後輩說的，這句話也會深深烙印在Ibrahim的腦子裡。
The above statement was said to Youssef by Shorbagy. This statement will always be remembered deeply by Youseff.

我帶學生，很重視這種觀念與Mindset
觀念就像放種子在土壤裡，短期或許看不出變化，但隨著學生的心態就會影響成長的速度。
With my teaching to students, I emphasize the importance of this mentality and mindset, mindset is like a seed planted in the ground, in short term period of time, you could not noticed its impact. But, as the time progresses, the right mindset being planted will have a profound impact on outcome!
當你知道自己做對什麼、什麼做的不夠好，你就懂的怎麼去看待與因應，你也就更能理解對手的目的與想法在哪邊、如何去應對。
When you could clearly observe what has being doing right, or what has not being doing enough, you would then understand how to face obstacles with right approaches and methods. You could then understand your competitors’ thinking and how to react to his strategy.

這觀念也不只限於用在球場裡，場外也是一樣。
The same philosophy applies to outside of court.
以前某體育大學裡的教授，當面對著我說：
There was a professor in a sports focused college once said to me:
「你這種學生我見多了，沒多久也就不會再碰壁球了」當時我很氣憤。
I have seen enough of students that don’t last too long in playing squash..
現在回頭想想，那教授是因為他學生都是如此？還是因為他是帶著這種心態去帶學員？所以才會如此呢？
In looking back, could it be that professor was having a passive attitude that caused his students in thinking passively?
「我相信教練的心態，影響學生很大的」
I firmly believe that a coach’s mindset has a profound impact to his students...

期盼AJ的學生都能有烙印正向與獨立思考能力
Wishing all AJ Squash students think and imprint with positive mindset as well has ability to think independently
「烙印住每一次打到目標點的感受」
「記憶自己贏球的喜悅」
那份喜悅與渴望，就是推動我們打到更多的動力。
Imprint and conceive deeply arise from each feeling resulting from a focus target
獨立思考自己要的是什麼：
「找個心態、步頻跟自己一樣的人同行」
如果沒有，那就選擇獨行吧。
Think independently is critical in figuring out what is once’s own goal. Pairing with someone that has similar desire and goal setting...If you can not find that person, stride along....
Mindset不一樣，就已經存在不同世界一樣。
When mindset is steering into different direction, you have already venture into a different environment and world
你/妳今天AJ了嗎？
Have you AJ today?
