James' story is inspirational to all would-be squash players.
#1 International Best Selling Author and highly ranked world-class squash player, James was by no means a ‘natural’ when he first tried the game. His first attempt at playing squash began at the age of 17, when his older brother took him down to the local squash courts for a game.
From that very moment James became addicted to the sport. But the skill that he consistently demonstrates today certainly wasn’t evident back then.
Yet he loved playing, and was determined to master the game. Rather than giving up, he continued to practice until he began to improve. After several months of solid practice he was able to take on and even start beating the more experienced players at the club.
By the time he was 22, James achieved ‘A’ grade status. This achievement encouraged him to play even more squash matches. By the time he was 25, he had achieved state grade level and the game had become his life.At the state grade level, players are usually either ex-world-ranked or young up-and-comers. For James this meant that he had to contend with a much higher quality game. This drove him to further improve his skills, and he started to train six days a week: running, gym, squash practice and coaching.
By the time he was 30, James was ranked # 250 in the world, which allowed him the opportunity to travel more to locations such as Melbourne and Queensland. He continued to win tournaments along the way and maintain his ranking status. But his personal development and training as an elite squash player didn’t end there.
James began to develop his own unique system, which helped him organise 15 competitions a week. Every night, there was a different competition and a different style of game. Most people think there is only one type of squash game, but, as James discovered, with some imagination and creativity, many exciting variations can be created to keep players interested and motivated.
In 2008, James finally achieved his dream of becoming the owner of Hills Squash. Having his own club means James can operate his courts seven days a week and offer numerous and varied competitions to suit all levels and types of players.
And he continues to be an inspiration to us all!
