Welcome back everyone to episode 18 of the Rally Report podcast.  Another preview/contender episode this week with the Windy City wrapping up and the CSA Individuals starting up on Friday to wrap up the season.  Got a real expert of the game joining me in this episode, the current Assistant Coach at Penn and former professional/national coach from Scotland, Stuart Crawford.  Stuart has a renowned reputation amongst the squash community with his analytical and insightful approach to breaking down the game so it was fascinating to hear his thoughts on all the contenders for this tournament.  Truly is an underrated figure amongst the squash world.  Really think you're going to enjoy this one as a squash fan and this tournament should be getting more of a shout! Good luck to all the players participating! (FYI Women's Contenders begin at 12:45 and Men's Contenders begin at 29:19) 

Welcome back everyone to episode 17 of the Rally Report podcast. Previewing the upcoming Windy City Open 2022!   Slightly different from the usual formatting for today's show.  Instead of going down the entire draw, decided that it'd be more efficient if each of us picked 2 players who we thought could potentially win it and 2 players that we should watch out for.  Let me know what you think of this new formatting! Joining me are two of my good friends and squash enthusiasts, Yahya Ladiwala and Vabuk Pahari.  Enjoy!

Welcome back everyone to episode 16 of the Rally Report podcast.  Got a criminally underrated player joining me on this episode.  He quite literally swept the recent Junior Pan Am games (taking home a gold and two silvers), continues to kill it the college squash scene and has flare/charisma like no other, Matias Knudsen. We got to hear a bunch of match recaps from this season (Omar El Torky, Al Abou El Einen and Marwan Tarek), his predictions for CSA nationals and little bit about his own journey coming all the way from Colombia.  Just fantastic to hear from a player with a different background and perspective who obviously is a massive fan of the sport.  Hope you enjoy!

Welcome back everyone to episode 15 of the Rally Report podcast.  We got Patrick Rooney returning to the pod, but this time it's for a 1:1 interview.  Genuinely the funniest episode I've done so far and thanks to Pat for bringing such good energy.  Went over his recent form/rankings, to his visit to Rob Owen, 305Squash and England Squash. More importantly, we went over a McDonalds nugget challenge that Pat will do once his trip to the US is over and his pregame shadow boxing routine.  A terrific episode and don't sleep on Patty the ghost ;) Have a hunch he's going to have bigger breakthroughs in store for us this year. 

Welcome back everyone to episode 14 of the Rally Report podcast.  A little switch up this week with the terrible coverage that's been going on, thought it'd be a good time to preview the 2022 season for players we should be watching.  Could not have a more fitting guest to join us for an episode like this - the founder of AR Proformance, former squash professional, mentor, coach the man who does it all, Ahad Raza!  Think you'll enjoy this one and especially if you're already a follower of Ahad's content.  As a fan myself it was an awesome experience to just hear his thoughts on these top players. Enjoy!

Welcome back everyone to episode 13 of the Rally Report podcast.  Joining me is a player who deserves more recognition within the squash community.  He's a former World Junior Champion and also the winner of the most recent college individuals title, Marwan Tarek.  It's been a pretty dull January, but don't fret as college squash in full action and this is a  fantastic episode if you've been following along as Marwan dives into match recaps against Penn, Princeton and Drexel (Marathon Match).  Also was neat to hear about his dynamic and relationship with his teammate Victor.  I personally really enjoyed this one and think you will too! (Also switched up a couple of the Quick Fire Questions so tune in for that)

Welcome back everyone to episode 12 of the Rally Report podcast. Joining me is the best left-handed player in the business right now, ranked 15 in the world and top player from Princeton, Youssef Ibrahim. As we head to the peak of College Squash Season, we got to hear Youssef’s take on what’s in store for this weekend and the goals/aspirations for the rest. Also got to hear about Youssef’s plan as post-graduation as a full time professional.  Youssef’s had some unique experiences throughout his squash career, and he is a player to stay so keep an eye out! Enjoy.

Welcome back everyone to episode 11 of the Rally Report podcast.  Joining me is 2 x US National Champion, 2 x Gold Medalist for the 2019 Pan AM Games and also the co-founder of RIA Eyewear Chris Hanson! Fantastic discussions around how he navigated his early career and honest take on what life is like as a professional squash player.  Chris had a lot of great stories to share from his time to Dartmouth to stories from the tour.  Enjoy! 

Happy New Year everyone! 10 episodes in now and we are starting the year off with a big time player who's been taking the PSA tour by storm this past year, Gina Kennedy.  She has broken into the top 20 in the rankings now, recent semi-finalist in the Black Ball Open and continues to impress.  Had a lovely time speaking with her about her recent performances beating SJ Perry, her journey on the tour so far and obviously everyone's interest in her fitness regime.  Enjoy and look out as Gina will continue to move up the ranks! 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Welcome back everyone to episode 09 to the Rally Report podcast.  Joining me is a star in the making, ranked 38 in the world, on a 4 tournament winning streak, Moustafa Elsirty.  Had the pleasure of discussing his recent top form, life on the pro tour and comparisons with Mostafa Asal.  Enjoy and keep an eye out for Moustafa because he is going to make waves in 2022!
