Racquetball, Racquet, Beginners Squash

I want to have fun on the squash court.
I am not sure if I have enough skill to compete in a tournament.
My parents seem to be more interested in wins and losses than the kids playing the matches.
How many racquets do I need to compete in a tournament?
Should I wear shoes specially designed for squash play?
I don't know what my parents mean when they say, "I want to see a return on my investment."
I get nervous when my parents scream at me when I am at practice.
I don't want to let my parents down.
I am trying to use good form when making contact with the ball.
I am not sure if I should listen to my parents or my coach.
My parents seem to be disappointed in me when I lose.

Have fun out there today.
Listen to your coach; he or she knows what they are doing.
Run to the ball, set up, swing through the ball.
Let's work together with your coach to make sure we are on the same page in terms of your goals.
It takes time and patience to become a good player. Keep working hard on your fundamentals.
Physical and mental skills must be gradually developed over several years of practice and play.
Hit the ball to a good length.
Aim into the back corners.
Keep the ball close to the side walls.
Recover to the center of the court.
Watch the ball at all times.
Volley the ball whenever possible.
Change the pace of the ball.

Your head is not in the match.
I think you need to keep your serve more consistent in speed.
You are not hustling out there.
Yelling at your kids while they are playing at practice or during tournaments.
Telling your kid which techniques to apply to their game without consulting the coach.
Showing your disappointment and anger.
Comparing your kid to other kids on the court.
Saying things like, “That kid has improved so much, and you seem to be performing close to the same level as when you started.”
