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 />

embraces a high quality and modern<br />

lifestyle, all at competitive prices.<br />

Overall, Barcelona Global Squash offers<br />

a unique squash experience in a unique,<br />

highly attractive and one of Europe’s<br />

most cosmopolitan cities.<br />
