About Me

HI! I'm Phillip Marlowe

I've been coaching squash players for almost 40 years. The last ten years almost exclusively online via this website and my YouTube channel.

I started playing squash when I was 15 or so, which is too old to become a pro but that didn't stop me from dreaming! I played in 3 British Open qualifying championships, a World Open qualifying plus many other tournaments.

However, it became clear I wasn't destined for glory playing, so I turned my attention to coaching.

With over 3 million views on YouTube and hundreds of video analyses completed, as well as training app and unique practice plans, I feel confident I can help squash players become better.

My objective is to help as many players as possible through simple, clear and practical advice.

Services I offer

VIDEO ANALYSIS

Most players think they know what their mistakes are but common issues like slight delays in movement, inefficient footwork, or poor shot selection are hard to recognise in real time.

✭ My analysis pinpoints these subtle patterns and gives you targeted advice that actually work.
✭ Small adjustments can have a big impact, and understanding your own habits is the first step to making meaningful improvements.
✭ Whether you’re working on improving your match tactics or trying to hitting better shots, a coach's perspective can make all the difference.
✭ You send me a video of yourself playing, I record myself watching it and offer feedback as it plays.

PRACTICE PLANS

A structured routine beats random hitting. Practicing without a plan is like baking a cake without a recipe. It's possible, but not the best way to do it.

✹ A proper plan helps you make better use of your time on court.
✹ It keeps your practice focused and gives each session a clear purpose.
✹ The BetterSquash Practice Plans cover beginners to club players, from solo routines to pairs' and squad sessions.
✹ Full Plans come with 12 themed routines, while other plans contain 6 routines.
✹ The FastFocus plan contains over 7 Hours of drills and a free sample is available.

THE BETTERPRACTICE APP

The BetterPractice App is specifically designed to work with the BetterSquash practice plans.

✚ It's free, requires no account and does not record or send an data.
✚ The app gives both text instructions and audio guidance. It includes a short explanation before each drill, and regular prompts to help you focus on the right things while you practice.
✚ You can use your device’s speakers or connect a Bluetooth speaker if you prefer. I’ve also tested both in-ear and bone-conduction earphones, and they work well.
✚ After a routine is loaded for the first time, it can be used offline, so poor connectivity on your courts will not be a problem.
✚ It's available for iOS and Android devices.
