For me, it’s about grit, bouncing back after losing, and getting that rush when you finally nail a shot you’ve been sweating over for weeks. I want everyone, from kids to adults, to find their place on the court and get the real joy of improvement, not just ticking drills off a list. ### What My Coaching Looks Like - I personalize each session whether you’re new to the game or getting ready for tough tournaments. - Squash coaching for beginners is a big focus. I’ll fix your grip (don’t worry, you won’t be smashing like a hammer), get your feet moving, and help you swing smooth. - For those who’ve been playing a while, I’ll throw in advanced stuff - like killer nicks, strategy, and how to read what your opponent might do next. - If you’re curious about the new stuff, my pickleball training sessions and padel sports classes are all about having fun, getting fit, and learning something different. These are great if you want something social and energetic, no matter your age. ### More Than Just Drills - Fitness is part of it (squash will leave you sweating, promise). - I push mental toughness in racket sports - handling pressure, coming back from mistakes, and just sticking with it. - You’ll get to play in junior squash tournaments and friendly matches, because real competition is the best teacher. ### My Team & Where We Coach - You’ll learn from me and coaches like Umesh Pawar, plus get tips from some of India’s top pros. - I don’t stick to one spot - if there’s a court near you, I’ll show up there. No fancy club membership needed. Jo jeeta wohi sikandar - if you’re ready to play, I’m ready to coach. ## Highlights Browse through SportsXL's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sportsxlofficial/racket-sports-coaching-training/featured) - [Video: Here is a look at a typical training day with me and Coach Umesh.

We saw kids with crazy talent but not enough chances, so we built courts from scratch. For us, it’s not just about squash or pickleball, it’s about community and dreams. Like Vasundhara said, 'mujhe bade ho ke India ke liye khelna hai' (I want to play for India someday). That fire is why we keep going. ### My work - **All-in Sports Ecosystem**: We offer squash coaching camps, pickleball tournaments, padel workshops, and build sports facilities from start to finish. - **Coaching & Camps**: Our coaches help kids and adults push their game, with drills, technical tips, and padel strategy workshops. - **Tournaments & Events**: We host energetic pickleball beginner tournaments and fun, competitive circuits for all levels. - **Sports Infrastructure**: From a single squash court to full arenas, we do turnkey sports facility development - sketch to finish. - **Community & Corporate Programs**: We run corporate sports engagement programs and community events to spread the love for the game. ## More services from SportsXL - [Sports Facility Construction](https://mytribe.in/sportsxlofficial/sports-facility-construction) · ₹1,000-3,500 per sq.ft.
