Ok. In this segment I want you to really think about how your movement and your stroke are
intimately connected. So if the ball is over there and I don't move properly, I can't get
a good shot at it. But if the ball is over there and I move, I can hit a nice shot every
time. So, the idea here is to really think about your movement and your ball striking
not as two separate items, but as one item. If you can do that, you'll notice the quality
of your shot will improve a lot. That's why doing these movement drills; the whole purpose
of them is to set you up so you can hit the ball properly. So if I'm going to hit a ball
in the front court, see I move, I move and I can hit the ball pretty well. If I don't
move to it, if I'm in bad position, I'm going to be hitting weak shots, I'm going to be
hitting you know, very poor shots, or you know, losing the point out right. So the idea
here is the movement and the ball striking are totally connected. Because squash is a
game of movement. So I want you to really think about how all this works. So you want
to learn to watch the ball; you want to learn how to move and get in good position so you
can take a nice full stroke. If you're hitting the ball too close to the body or you're always
having to lunge, all your shots are going to be pretty weak. So really focus when you
do these movement drills. If you use your imagination; if you really think about hitting
the ball, in your mind, and then you'll see your results improve quickly.
