How Can Squash Relieve Everyday Stress? by Ally Jiang

Stress is in everyone's life, and it can be really annoying. Sometimes you just need a way to escape from all the stress. SQUASH can help with that. Whether it's hitting the ball with all your strength to relieve anger or playing a friendly game to get your mind off of things, squash can be a way to escape from the stress of life.

Here's how:

Squash helps with stress because:

1. It’s great exercise.

   • Moving around a lot helps your body release stress and feel better.

2. You forget your worries.

   • You have to focus on the fast game, so your mind gets a break from stress.

3. It boosts your mood.

   • Playing releases “feel-good” chemicals in your brain that help you feel happier.

4. You sleep better.

   • Exercise like squash can help you sleep more deeply, which also reduces stress.

5. You connect with others.

   • Playing with a friend or meeting people at the court makes you feel less alone.

   
   

Squash helps with stress by combining physical intensity, mental focus, emotional release, and social interaction—creating a full-body, full-mind reset.

If you're dealing with high stress, even one or two sessions per week can make a noticeable difference.
