How to use the e-lessons?
I would focus on the 2.0 to 3.5 lessons as these emphasize fundamental
training tips and strategies for beginners through intermediate players.
If you are really serious about reaching some kind of
semi-professional or at least state rankings, then you should get a few lessons
from an experienced teaching pro. You need to get the swing/stroke, grip, footwork and
strategy right from the start, otherwise you develop bad habits that are very
frustrating to break. Swing is the most important as that is your building block for all
your success in squash. Only a pro can see what you are doing and make the necessary
adjustments.
I would recommend lessons at least once every
few weeks for the first few months. After that just one every few
months is enough.
If you are young ( under 12 years old ) and want to get to be a pro, then I would
recommend hiring three coaches. Each coach will teach you slightly different things. You also
protect yourself from learning only one style of play. Not everything
a coach says is correct. By having your training reviewed by several coaches, you will quickly
know what is really important and what is not. For example if all three coaches say to
hit the ball a certain way, then you know it must be correct. But if only one coach says to swim three
miles before each squash practice then you can probably ignore that!
