Client Reviews

Taiwo is so much more than a squash coach. He is unbelievably dedicated to both the art, and the hard technique, of the sport. Taiwo allows me to conceptualize every component of my game, improve on them systematically, and then roll it all together into sustained improvement. Truly a remarkable teacher.

Taiwo is a remarkable instructor and ambassador for squash. He has demonstrated a high level of competence in assessing the strengths and weaknesses in our daughter's game and equally high competence in instructing and training her such that her techniques and overall approach to the game have seem dramatic improvement. Taiwo conveys a passion for the sport that is motivating and contagious across all age groups to such an extent that our youngest has gotten excited about learning the sport under Taiwo's tutelage and playing competitively at school. We recommend Taiwo without reservation.

Great session with Taiwo for my son today. He organized several exercises that focused on strength and technique which were very useful. Looking forward to the next one.

Coach Tai is an incredible teacher. I saw remarkable results in just one session, with a much improved grasp on the fundamentals of grip, swing mechanics, footwork, and court awareness.

Not only did I learn a lot but I had so much FUN. This was the best cardio workout I've had in a long time and Coach Tai's enthusiasm for the game of Squash is totally infectious.

I highly recommend Coach Tai to anyone looking to improve their Squash game.

I also definitely recommend Squash as a sport, and lessons with Coach Tai in particular, to anyone who wants to mix up their workout regimen. I was sweaty and panting by the end of my session, and I'm sure I burned more calories than I ever have on a treadmill!

Myself and two friends took a group lesson with Tai. Coach Tai was excellent at showing us the basics of Squash and getting us to the point where we could confidently play a match. It is obvious that Tai is passionate about the sport, and that passion shows through in his coaching! I'm excited to get back out on the court!

Here is what the other two athletes in the session had to say:

Coach Tai was awesome. Before our lesson, I did not even know the rules of the sport. Coach was very patient and detail oriented. In about an hour and half, he taught me all the basics, proper technique, and court positioning. I am already motivated to get back out on the court. I would recommend coach Tai to anyone looking to get into the sport, or looking to improve his/her game!

Tai provided a great experience for 3 beginners, and introduced the basics and fundamentals of squash in a way that was both fun and engaging. 45 minutes into the session we were in full-throttle scrimmage mode, and Tai regularly provided tips and tricks to help us improve.

Personally, I'm Syked in teaching at all levels especially developing a none squash player or a beginner to a competitive level which with skills and articulating style after careful studying of the individuals or group. My squash experience is born out of professional experience and early squash playing from age 9, and cross section playing and experienced with other sports like Tennis, Golf, Badminton ,soccer this allows me to teach and help interest person at great length.
