BARCELONAGLOBALSQUASH<br />
Barcelona Global Squash continues to grow from strength to<br />
strength and is increasingly recognised as one of Europe’s most<br />
attractive training destinations for young players wishing to make the<br />
transition onto the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour or<br />
young professionals already competing on the international circuit who<br />
are looking for a professional framework to move their game forward.<br />
The Barcelona Global Squash (BGS)<br />
Performance Academy, directed by<br />
Head Coach Victor Montserrat and<br />
Fitness, Strength & Conditioning Coach<br />
Bet Consegal, works with an expanding<br />
international portfolio of young aspiring<br />
players from Spain, Argentina, Holland,<br />
Pakistan, Sweden, Norway, India, Italy,<br />
Switzerland and the UK.<br />
World class tuition and instruction is<br />
delivered by Victor Montserrat whose<br />
unique, hands-on style of coaching is<br />
central to the increasing popularity of<br />
BGS as the favoured destination for many<br />
emerging young players. Victor has a<br />
wealth of playing and coaching experience<br />
having been Spain’s No.1 player for six<br />
consecutive years and making over<br />
200 apperances for Spanish national<br />
representative teams at World and<br />
European Team Championships, alongside<br />
coaching amateur and professional<br />
players for more than 22 years.<br />
Victor started playing in 1979 as a<br />
six-year-old when his father took him<br />
to play squash for the first time and<br />
since those early days, his life has<br />
been centred around squash. His time<br />
competing on the PSA World Tour was<br />
combined with his passion for coaching<br />
having been mentored and inspired<br />
during his own developement by<br />
coaching legend Neil Harvey.<br />
Influenced by Neil Harvey as well as<br />
other highly qualified trainers and<br />
coaches during his own career, Victor is<br />
passionate about ‘teaching’ squash and<br />
developing his own practical, effective<br />
and unique methodology to help players<br />
to quickly improve their game. Through<br />
BGS, Victor is currently training and<br />
coaching some of the youngest most<br />
promising players on the international<br />
circuit. Most noteworthy is the recent<br />
and historical success of the Spanish<br />
national team whose bronze winning<br />
team at the recent European Team<br />
Championships included three players<br />
who are currently training at the BGS<br />
Performance Academy under Victor’s<br />
guidance.<br />
As a backdrop to BGS and its different<br />
activities is the colourful and dynamic<br />
city of Barcelona. In addition to the<br />
guarantees that BGS offer in terms of<br />
athletic development, the wonderful<br />
and dynamic city of Barcelona itself is<br />
integral to BGS’s attractive offering.<br />
Enjoying one of the best climates in all<br />
of Europe, with one of the most optimal<br />
number of hours of winter daylight<br />
and an average day time temperature<br />
of 22ºC, the city offers young aspiring<br />
professionals a place that provides<br />
the comforts of home, a cutting edge<br />
international cuisine, and a city that<br />
