How to get better?

I (M20) picked up squash in January this year and and have played almost every week since. I joined the squash club at my uni and we have two training sessions each week.

I would say I have reached a decent level in the sense I can beat most players at uni but recently a new guy joined and absolutely tore everyone apart. He was hitting shots with great bounce and dip, with extreme consistency and great length and so much power.

There's a bunch of other guys that are above everyone else, they just hit the ball harder and the way they marshal the court in terms of sticking to the T is insane. Tbf they've been playing for a while, everyone at least has 4+ years experience. Playing against feels a bit demotivating especially since BUCS trials are coming up.

I really want to reach their level but I fear it is going to take a while. Does anyone have any specific tips to improve or a good playlist of videos or a good training schedule especially doing solo drills. Hardest part is probably finding someone who is your level to play consistently with.

I just want hit the ball harder, get better at volleying, hit shots with great length, enough that they reach the corners of the court consistently and dominate the T.
