Body language

I video taped my lesson today and when I went back to look at it, I am appalled at the poor body language I was giving off.  First I look like I'm tiptoeing around the court.  Secondly my feet are constantly shuffling and not still.  Although I think I'm doing that so I don't get planted in one spot.  My racquet preparation is still late.  I'm not exploding from standstill like real squash players do.  I'm breathing like I'm about to collapse.  And my ankles drag on the floor like a child.

There were brief moments of good footwork and racquet preps.  There were 2 minutes of boast drive drills where I showed good form.  I just have to make those 2 minutes last another 58 more.

I have to have better body language from now on.  Maybe that will kick start the proper form and attitude.
