In squash - The Podcast

Commonwealth Games gold medalist, British National Champion and former world #4, although I gave him props for being world #1 in my intro, Paul Johnson showed up huge for episode 15. You won't want to miss this as we look back at some unbelievable anecdotes covering his incredible pro career, how he sees the pro game today, and much more.

World #9 Sarah-Jane Perry is fresh off a brilliant semi-final showing at the Windy City Open and joined me on the podcast which was conducted on International Women's Day. Sarah's climb to the top 10 of the PSA rankings has been impressive, and if you've had the chance to see her play you can see why she's likely going to keep on climbing. Enjoy the great chat with SJ as we celebrated International Women's Day.

Laurens Anjema is the most highly decorated Dutch player of all time, and a former top 10 on the PSA tour. LJ gave us a great look back at his amazing career; at what it was like transitioning from junior prospect to world beater under the guidance of Neil Harvey in his Chingford camp. Retirement is never easy, nor was it easy for LJ as he took us through his stint in the corporate world and how that led him to his passion today, creative writing.

Jethro Binns is the co-founder of the squash coaching/training resource squashskills.com . He joined me on the podcast today and we looked back into his squash backstory including his psa career which was cut short sadly due to injury, and his evolution towards the coaching side of things.

Recently crowned British National Squash Champion Tesni Evans joined me today on the podcast on her off day at the Windy City Open. We battled through early tech issues, and it what well worth it. She's a great young talent with a fantastic story to tell. Not only that, she is the first from the Ladies PSA tour to join the podcast. Thanks Tesni, you were awesome.

Paul Coll is one of the bright stars on the PSA tour today. Fresh off final and semi-final performances in the Motor City Open and Swedish Open respectively, we had a great chat with Paul covering everything from his Tommy Berden, the Commonwealth Games, his rise as a pro, and his infamous training routines.

Steve Lawton is a living legend of Canadian squash. Former #2 in Canada and top 10 in the Canadian rankings for many years, Steve played the game like no other. He showed up in a big way for the podcast, and I'd like to make this a tribute episode for Steve as he plans to retire after over 20 years as the Head Squash Pro at the Vancouver Racquet Club (VRC).

Jamie Crombie's squash career is long and impressive, representing Canada at the junior and men's level, and reaching number 1 in both Canada and the USA. He's currently the head squash pro at the Buffalo Tennis and Squash Club, and a member of the US National Duathlon team. Always great to chat with Jamie. Enjoy the podcast.

Stephen Coppinger had a tremendous PSA career, spanning 11 years and collecting 10 psa titles along the way. Stephen dropped by the In Squash podcast and we chatted about pro career, his rise up the PSA rankings, hardcore training via the Durbach approach, and the devastating fire that took almost everything his family had last summer. Thankfully the Coppinger's are settled in Austin, Texas, and we talked about what lies ahead for him there as well.

Gregory Gaultier is the current world number one on pro squash's PSA tour. An incredible career dating back to the turn of the millennium, he's won just about every major title including the World Open and the British Open. Next, Greg is off to the Swedish Open and then to the lucrative Windy City Open. Great chat with the world number 1.
