Testimonials
“I am virtually unrecognizable as an athlete to where I was before I started working with Brigit and it is not by accident: To say she changed my life would be an understatement…The traditional way of thinking has always been to prioritize on court training and push through the inevitable pains and injuries that accompany it. I can confidently say that I have never felt worse in the last decade while following this method. Brigit has flipped this model on its head for us and is helping bring squash in line with other olympic sports in terms of strength and conditioning, a development that has been sorely needed for years. Despite her enormous impact on myself and others, Brigit has never flaunted her own accolades and has been the ultimate team player, constantly putting others ahead of herself and being the glue that holds Team USA Squash together. I’m unbelievably proud to represent Brigit every time I step on the court, and can confidently say that without her, I would never have come close to where I am now and where I am heading.”
Timmy Brownell - Mens Squash USA No. 1 / Mens Squash World No. 35
“As someone who has never felt like a naturally explosive or quick person, Brigit’s program has helped me improve this quality drastically. We have done extensive work on my ability to generate force, change direction and control my movement and this has played a massive role in my becoming one of the best movers and most physically tough players on tour.”
- Olivia Weaver - Womens Squash USA No. 1 / Womens Squash World No. 4
“Having a program that is tailored to my rehab needs and squash goals makes me feel confident in the gym and on court, even when my body does not feel at its best. I know that I am making progress on the issues I wanted to address. No matter how my squash feels, whether it has been a good day or a bad day, I always leave the gym feeling productive, happy, and motivated. This is the impact of Brigit’s strength and conditioning program on me and my squash. A happy athlete is a fast athlete.”
Marina Steffanoni - Womens Squash World No. 26
“Squash is a demanding sport where accidents like slips, collisions, or awkward movements are common. Building strength and stability in the gym has given me the confidence to commit fully to challenging movements on court without fear of injury. Feeling physically strong has translated into mental assurance during matches, allowing me to play with greater freedom and intensity.”
Alina Bushma - Womens Squash World No. 68
“She (Brigit Roemer) brings positive energy to the gym like no other coach I have ever met, and the culture she creates with all her commitment can only benefit any program she is a part of. I trust her with any decision, adjustment, tip or advice she gives me because I know she wants the best for me always. I wouldn’t want anyone else as my strength and conditioning coach, and I am sure all the international players who come to Philly specifically for her would say the same.”
Matias Knudsen - Mens Squash World No. 60
“(Brigit) Related well with us as player being a college athlete herself, so very understanding and helpful with anything we may be going through at a particular time.”
Nick Spizzirri - Mens Squash World No. 143
“As for the strength portion there isn't a doubt that when I am following the program I am getting stronger.”
Dillon Huang - Mens Squash World No. 112
”Every few weeks Brigit asks me for feedback or if there is anything she thinks she can improve in herself or in the programming to make me a better athlete. Although I rarely have any useful feedback for her, I appreciate the thought behind it and know that I can give feedback when I have any.”
Salim Khan - Mens Squash World No. 128
“Brigita’s program has made me a better athlete since I started working with her in 2021, which has, in turn, translated to improvements in my game on court. Specific areas of improvement include overall strength, explosiveness of first-step movements, ability to push my heart rate into the red zone, increased lactate threshold, and injury prevention.”
Spencer Lovejoy - (Retired) Mens Squash World No. 64
“Overall, Brigita’s S&C program is one of the best I’ve experienced for squash. It’s specific, well-rounded, and clearly designed to address the challenges of the game. With a few tweaks—like adding reactive drills, more mobility work, or a touch of steady-state cardio—it would be as close to perfect as I can imagine.”
Danielle Ray - Womens Squash Highest World No. 18
“Perhaps Just as important as her S&C knowledge, Brigit also worked tirelessly for me and the other athletes. She was fully devoted to me and my improvement and I know the other athletes felt similarly. I always knew Brigit was in my corner.”
Todd Harrity - (Retired) Mens Squash World No. 34
“Brigit’s ability to rationally assess an individual’s circumstances and make calm, informed decisions about the best course of action is a remarkable and impressive trait in a coach. The thoughtful, adaptive, and science-driven approach to strength and conditioning at the SC allowed me to get the best out of my body, despite the challenges I faced.”
Andrew Douglas - (Retired) Mens Squash World No. 48
“Sure maybe you don’t need to be strong to win a single squash match. But to win MANY over the course of MANY YEARS, strength and conditioning is imperative. Brigit is not only a strength and conditioning coach, she inspires this team to be their best selves.”
Olivia Clyne - (Retired) Women’s Squash World No. 11
“Her relationship to each player in the program is invaluable and how she individualizes her knowledge to each athlete has helped athletes like Olivia Weaver, Timmy Brownell and Spencer Lovejoy become world class players.”
Gilly Lane - University of Penn Head Squash Coach
“Brigita is one of the most caring individuals, always prioritizing the well-being of her athletes. Her genuine concern for their success and health fosters a positive and supportive environment.”
Mike Rankin - Director Of Strength & Conditioning at Drexel University
