Read full description

Practicing without a clear plan is like baking a cake without a recipe. Yes, experienced players can get away with it, but most players need help. And that’s exactly what the BetterPractice app provides: GUIDED SQUASH PRACTICE. The BetterPractice app delivers clear voice instructions from an experienced coach, along with timing cues to lead you step by step through each drill. Just choose a routine, enter its short code, and start training with structure and purpose. Each drill includes on-screen prompts plus audio coaching to help you stay focused and build better habits. You can pause, repeat, or skip drills to suit your session. Use your device’s speaker, earphones, or an external speaker for hands-free guidance while you practice. The BetterPractice app is free, but requires one of the Practice Plans from BetterSquash. Ready to sharpen your ball control and train with intention? Try the free sample Solo Routine and experience the difference guided practice makes.
