Yeah, just a few things I would look at:

• Replace fluids before, and during the match
• Stretch before and after play (prepare well to get rid of any soreness or stiffness)
• Have a read of our Mental Skills listed in the Squash Library tab.
• Train (as fatness suggests) to build up the strength in the legs, until you feel fatigue

Hello there,

I used to have the same problem as yourself until i started doing drills with one of the top players at my club. He was way too strong for me so doing drills was of benefit to both of us. doing drills helps make you perfect your technique properly. When doing the drive/drop/boast your movement technique has to be correct othewise you will tire very quickly. It also makes you get into the habit of getting up on your toes and staying there, and getting your technique right and keeping it right for the entire session. drills make you play with correct movement and swing technique and helps this to become natural to you. when it comes natural, you wont be inclined to start hanging off the T at the end of the match. Also, if your movement is good and correct, you wont be nearly as tired towards the end of a match.

Just keep moving back to the T after every shot even when tired. If you hang back it will only make things worse for you and a good player will start playing short which will mean game over for you.
