The Squash Player Podcast
The deeper side of squash - on court and off.
We’re going behind the athlete, not just behind the scenes. In each episode, we sit down with a leading player, coach or personality from the game to discuss; mental strength, personal growth, how champions think, not just how they play - and more.
If you’re expecting tour-gossip, technique breakdowns or tactical guides, you’ll be disappointed. But if you are curious to find out more about the people outside of the court, you might be surprised.
