Pioneer junior cup 2015 - Day 1

I had only one game today, it was against Megan Van Drongelen (Netherland). I won it 3-1, I lose the first game, because I was over exited. The other three games I played very good squash. I enjoyed a lot! The heat has been sufficient enough already to a problem, it has been about +35 each day. Tomorrow I will have two games, first is against Lily Zelov (USA) at 12.20.

Stadi Cup 2015

Last weekend I was playing in Europe biggest girls and ladies football tournament. I played in Ladies with my team (MPS/akatemia). We played quite well and we made through the final!

The final were tight, but we won it 2-0! We didn't lose even a game in the tournament.

Finnish Squash Federation seminar in Pajulahti

Last two days I was in Finnish Squash Federation seminar. We were thinking new strategies for recruiting new members. It was nice experience to get new ideas about future of Finnish Squash!
Here is our new slogan:

Oulu junior open 2015

Last weekend I had last tournament in Finland this season. We played in mixed draws, so boys and girls are playing against each others. I played in A draw, which had 8 player's. My first game was against 1/2 seeded player. The match went okey, I tried my best but he was better. Second game was much better for me. The match was tight and I got a game. Eventhough I lost, I'm still happy the way I played. Saturdays last match was bit easier, I won 3-0. All shots went were I wanted and I found my dissappeared dropshots.

In sunday we had a team event. I played all matches and all were quite though. The last game was best, what I had played since the injury. I lost 2-0 (we played best of three games) 11/13 11/13. Balls were long and the whole match were quite long. We had few misunderstanding with the referee in second game tie break, which is why all my thoughts ran away from the game and I lost.
Last tournaments in this season will be in Germany and Netherlands, in july. They are my last tournaments in girls under 17. Now it's time to start short fitness level season.

Bit different day/Joka paikan squashia Siltamäessä

Tänään oli hieman erilainen päivä, olin vetämässä joka paikan squashia vanhalla ala-asteellani. (Siltamäen ala-aste) Tämä oli vasta toinen kokeilu Suomessa. Oppilaita kävi päivän aikana yhteensä noin 220, 1-6 luokilta.
Pakko sanoa, että oli aika hienoa nähdä kuinka innostuneita lapset olivat! Innokkuus paistoi jokaisen silmistä ja positiivista palautetta tuli monelta! Toivottavasti sain innostettua lapsia liikunnan ja squashin pariin! Kiitos Suomen squashliitolle välineistä!

Today was a little different day, I was coaching every place squash, on my old primary school. This was only the second trial in Finland. Pupils visited during the day a total of about 220, 1-6 grades.
I have to say that was great to see how excited the kids were! The enthusiasm shone every sight and positive feedback came from many! I hope I inspires many children to join different sports and maybe to try squash! Thank you for Finnish Squash association for equipments!
