How did your journey with squash begin?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have always been interested in sports. I started playing Squash when I was 9 years of age. My father plays Lawn Tennis, my elder sister is a Badminton player so I guess I had it in me naturally. I tried several sports before I settled down for Squash. I played Badminton for 6 months, Lawn Tennis for some time and then later I saw some of my seniors on a squash court and the pace and speed of Squash got me.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Also Read About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/the-karate-kid-winning-gold-in-us-open-world-championship\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;<strong>The Karate Kid Who is the 1st Indian to win Two Consecutive Golds in US Open World Championship&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>4. Who has been your greatest support all this while in becoming who you are today?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0My father has been my greatest support throughout my career. He never fails to motivate me to do better, to push more. He&#8217;s never missed a match of mine and him standing outside watching me play is enough for me to be motivated on the court. He has always been there, during my falls and my highs. My parents were the one who actually got me into Squash. They wanted me to take up a sport of my choice and that I did. I was never fond of books and they knew it. They were quite happy seeing me play tournaments around the country and gaining as much as I could out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"305\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/duite-top-indian-squash-players\/12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115533\/12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o.jpg?fit=640%2C658&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,658\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1454021790&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115533\/12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o.jpg?fit=292%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115533\/12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o.jpg?fit=640%2C658&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-305 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115533\/12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o.jpg?resize=640%2C658&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Harshit Muchhal\" width=\"640\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115533\/12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o.jpg?resize=640%2C658&#038;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115533\/12620512_1029880680387593_623374032_o.jpg?resize=640%2C658&#038;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. You have achieved a lot at such an early age. What has been your success mantra?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My key to success is to think less and work more. I mean just thinking about what you want to become or do is not going to help you after a certain point of time, so you have to get on it and work for it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the court, overconfidence kills. I remember when I was playing against a player in Mumbai I had already beaten twice and I was more than confident than what I should have been made me lose that match. Since then, I have always had it in mind that my opponent is better than me and there is no way I can be easy on him. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>6. Is there any influence or pressure that you ever felt?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don&#8217;t know about influence but there&#8217;s always some kind of pressure on the court. If I am playing against a player who has beaten me before, the pressure is natural. That&#8217;s where all your motivation and focus towards the game come in the picture. On the other hand, if I am playing against a player I have beaten before, the pressure is about not losing this time. I have played a lot of tournaments and that has helped me gain experience on how to deal with pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"301\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/duite-top-indian-squash-players\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?fit=1948%2C1433&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1948,1433\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"132456_440033072705693_658461665_o\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?fit=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?fit=1024%2C753&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-301 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Harshit Muchhal\" width=\"1320\" height=\"971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 1948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 74w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 111w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 990w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/16115506\/132456_440033072705693_658461665_o.jpg?resize=1320%2C971&#038;ssl=1 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>7.
