Hi Qamar,
I think the first step is to work on technique and your strokes. Take a look through the lessons on the Strokes & Techniques page of the site.
Then you can think about doing some formal training. Try to find a partner to train with. We have a set of Training drills that you can work through. It is a free download. Training Drills. Look through them and pick out some drills that you think will help. Start with the simple drills and work your way through. Later you can think about a Premium membership where you will be able to access the Training Secrets lessons. These show you the drills and how to use them best. It also shows you how to set out your training session and gives you a set of 52 weeks of Training Plans that you can work through. This is a good investment if you are thinking about training regularly.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
