I just love Jesse's style of coaching...and having a player perform what he coaches makes it even more easier to understand...It really does

You guys work very well together. Possibly the most I've learnt from any squash video I have watched. Thank you for creating the video!

I’m a racquetball player but I have a huge amount of respect for squash players. With that said, she has discipline. As soon as she hits the shot, she moves back into position.

Right HERE is where I'm learning good techniques to get myself out of trouble on the court. Thanks Jesse and Emma.

I'm just amazed about how you precisely feed the ball.

I love love love your bachand/forehand dig videos!!! Theres such symmetry between teacher student!!! Very informative!!!

Great video lesson. The key is to give yourself room for the racket to swing along the back wall if possible so it means being turned to almost face the back wall and then trusting your technique to pop the ball up high on the front wall. Its great when you do it and it forces your opponent to scramble back.

Great vid - thank you. It never ceases to amaze me that professional instructors/players don’t encourage (or even make it mandatory) to wear eye guards. It’s mandatory for juniors but adults seem to think that an errant squash ball to the eye will never happen to them. Time to make a change in this attitude. In this video the instructor looks back at his student. All it takes is one small mis-hit by the student and the coach’s game playing days are over.

What about the shot where you take a long step diagonally back from the T (on either side) and use the momentum to snap the ball straight almost from behind you? That is one of the most common shots at the higher levels but I never see it discussed.
