Video

Thank you for this video Jesse. Love it

Thanks a lot coach.. simple and neat

❤thank you, I learned some new points

how do is send a video to you for analysis?

Hi, you are making great videos. I am coaching squash youngsters and I am curious what software do you use for video annotations. I would simplify my explanations when I am sending videos to kids. Of course if it is not too secret :) thanks

And the left arm…

Great video, Jesse

Love this level of detail Jesse - great insights as always! 💪

Just come across your videos Jesse - you coached me as a junior in Woking many years ago. Great to see you still coaching! These videos are really top quality. I've taken your lessons and trying to pass them onto my partner now!

Love love the clear explanation Thnx

You have no idea how much I’m trying to not “brake” the wrist like your student. Do you have any tools to focus/concentrate on the right movements? Like mindfulness orchestra something similar

Amazing content! May I ask what app you are using? My partner is a dancer and is in need of a similar program to analyse some of the moves they perform.

I am conflicted now, completely. Have you now actually become a more brilliant teacher of squash then you ever were a player of squash? I may be learning more from watching your videos about the "how" of teaching than I am about the "how" of squash. Just, wow!

Good analysis.

I think you were the coach for "sivasangari subramaniam" in the "gillen markets london squash classic 2024" right?

The most detailed explanation I ever watched 👍

Hi Jesse - love your video analysis. What app do you use when commenting on the videos?

Hi Jessie, really love the technical explanation. I am trying hard to avoid the broken wrist, but geez, the muscle memory is so hard to break. By the way, I saw you playing in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2002 or 2003...

I literally love your vids. So so helpful

Thank you Jesse! This was great. Looking forward to another session with you once I work through your tips here.

It's great to hear the commentary of normal people (like me) playing :-) It looks like a lot comes down to making the easy shot by default instead of trying to do too much.

lovely side by side comparison. thanks!

I have had issues in games where I have placed myself on the recommended slightly left of centre T position to hunt the volley etc and my opponent has said they could not potentially hit a shot to the opposite front corner so I should not be standing that far over.

What video software is this?

Regarding the grip of sitting too deep in the palm…I have the same problem…and I think what most of us think is that we loose power and stability in the racquet and the index finger is simply too weak to control the racquet face upon impact….you reviewed me as well. Could you elaborate how to ensure the index finger and the rest of the fingers don’t make the racquet wobble upon impact? Thank you in advance.

Another major difference is how your right leg moves toward your left leg as you swing so you bear down on the ball and sink down into your shot. Your student does not do this as well as you do so he is more upright and cannot transfer as much energy into the racket and ball. This "sliding knee" action is rarely taught but used almost universally by top rated players

This was a fantastic breakdown of the rallies. I really appreciate the commentary on the players positions, techniques and shot selections. please do more of these. Excellent video.

Beautiful and thorough explanation. Thanks for taking the time putting all this information together.

Perfect analysis❤

Great analysis. In view 2 from the side wall, just curious about the difference in left hand positioning. Any significance?

Thanks , it’s a great and super clear and learn how to improve my backhand skills. 😊

As a level 2 coach, I appreciate all the content you are putting. Do you have any tips/drills/practices for sorting out wobbly wrist with juniors. Or how you go about teaching the swing to juniors.

The way I think of early racquet prep is that your motor neurons can now focus ONLY on where to hit the ball instead of being late with prep takes away precious tactical thinking. Sort of your CPU is being overly taxed if doing all at once at the point of hitting….

If he has lunged on one foot rather than a 2 foot plant would this have helped him better?

Great video as always. In defense of the student, I've got to say, because of the height and size difference, his swing will probably have to look a bit different from an adult's (when hitting a ball that is relatively higher above him), but that's not to say he shouldn't work on removing the basic errors such as the wobbly wrist.

Jesse it’s amazing the number of little details you explain in these videos. Where your student turns to look at the front a bit earlier than you, just for example. Keep up the great work!

Brilliant thanks

Amazing, thank you! Please tell me what is the name of the application where you compare videos?

great vid! what is also amazing is that your iPad battery didn't drop a single % during the entire video! :)

To be fair to him in regards to the height he is holding his racquet, he is much shorter and the height of the racquet is similar to yours in relation to the side wall. I assume he just has to wait a little longer than you for the ball to drop to his height more.

Promo-SM ☝️

Brilliant girl.

Awesome tips coach. One problem with backhand in game is often your opponent is close enough, but not quite a stroke, to prevent a full follow through. Do you have any tips on that?

Thanks for your awesome videos. In your next video, would you mind explaining a bit more on going from racket position 1 to 2 & how wait transfer goes along with it? 🙂

Great tips Jesse, what ball machine you're using in your sessions? Thanks a lot

What ball machine is this?

Another great video Jesse keep them coming - I've guilty of hacking a weak cross off the back of these shots and giving my opponent an easy volley opportunity. Will need to practice chipping it back straight instead to reset the rally.

Such elegant movement and no power leaks. My queue take away is elbow tuck in which will prompt shoulder rotation
