After a cryptic intro, we welcome Julian Illingworth. Not only 9x US men's national champion, but also one of the most popular guys on the world tour, joins for a catch up from the west coast.
We talk tour rivalries, trips gone wrong and pickleball. Jules also gives some tips for college recruitment and discusses how he became the most successful US male player to date.
Going back to the days before sat-nav, Phillip entertains and explains the intracacies of UK league squash. Car fails an' all. From heartbreaking PSA defeats to winning a coveted title at the 11th time of asking - it's all about the journey!
Out of the game for a couple years, the boys attempt to find their feet (and The Sack). *WARNING! EXTREMELY NICHE CONTENT* 20 years on from the university squash days, both Truswell & Verge have done themselves proud in their respective endeavours. A broad range of topics broached, from The Royal Family to Jonny OP's sprint start. Check out ManageMyMatch.com, for all your sports club's needs.
Legend Alert! A real treat to kick off 2021 and hear from David Evans. Former world number 3 and British Open champion 2000. Dave talks about his route into squash and journey up the rankings culminating in a top 4 world ranking and becoming only the third Brit and first Welshman to win the prestigious British Open. Some excellent tales of early tour days and the infamous prankster 'The Wizard' Adrian Davies. Great to hear Dave's thoughts on today's game and a few tips for youngsters. Please enjoy and share.
More from the fascinating Rob Owen.... Straight into some relatively quirky questions. Find out more about Rob's off court interests and thoughts on how to improve squash at the pro level. We also hear about an upcoming squash/tennis celebrity golf challenge
The wait is over.... It's Robert Owen in your ears. When he speaks, you listen. Fantastic insights, hilarious and candid as ever. We reminisce over playing and early coaching days, betting, art, Michelin Star take aways and trips through middle earth.
Charlie "the bandit" Lee talks Pro Squash Series, Four Tet & things he's learned from early training/ tour days. We also go over some funny shared instances with our coach Rob Owen and how he gets the best out of players.
Due to overwhelming public demand, Chris Truswell is back! Recored early on in lockdown but more relevant than ever, all part of The Masterplan! We talk about the trip known as 'the tour that never happened' - not due to lockdown, but due to no ranking points being earned. There are some tips for young pros - learned the hard way. We discuss fads & our local clubs - Sutton Squash Club & Edgbaston Priory
Cape Town by way of Castleford! Great to hear from Shaun, a very talented all round ball striker! The first + handicap golfer on the podcast, which confuses me! Kudos! A very popular guy on tour and sometimes misunderstood by the officials! Always entertaining and great to hear him reflect so fondly on what squash has given to him.
Great catch up with the second most notorious Pablo. 2020 has seen him take his golfing equipment to new levels. Dedicated to a strict 'buy it & the swing will come' development policy. Always fun to hear Pablo's side of the story, he takes us through the fall and rise of his rivalry with Chris Truswell & meeting a 90s sprint legend he'd named his cat after.
Wycliffe College Director and all round top bloke, Jonny Harford joins to talk twinning, winning and Torricini's nan. A man of many nicknames, Jon Barford, Mr Consistent, Daddy H....now sporting his new head shave.
We track down the enigma, Joel Hinds, to hear what he's up to these days. A wide range of topics, from how to fill downtime to training methods, european politics and Burrito-gate!
Chris Tasker a man of many nicknames. The Galvanizer of Midlands squash, Andriy Shevchenko in his North West league playing days, the Squash Scarecrow due to his log days at work and Angles Grindley on the snooker table. He talks junior development, single malt, tips on how and how not to rehab. We also reminisce on a calamitous trip to Ibiza. Farcical!
Top Canadian professional Nicole steps in to brighten up the place! A hilarious, highly motivated squash, health, fitness and nutrition expert. She also talks football & Canadian punk rock. If anyone's looking to get fitter and healthier, check out her Patreon and Instagram. @nicolebunyan
Fantastic to have The Professor on the show. As expected, he touches on a great range of topics, from time wasting tips to fitness fads to a belter of a heavyweight boxing story! If I had to compare Chris to a 90s footballer (which I will because I love that sort of thing), he's the Teddy Sheringham. Classy, uses his head for that first yard and was next to me while I was in a dentist's chair. Arrivederci it's 1 on 1!
Canadian international Mike McCue drops in (several times) for a chat. He provides great insights into some of North America's top players, past and present. Eloquence is his forte. Single-handedly dragging the podcast up a notch with a high brow finale.
A cracking catch up with squash dude and tour buddy Peter Creed. Plenty of insight into Creedy's awesome personality and squash journey. Incidentally, he's the fella who took the Squash Toursit profile picture as we made our way across the US/CANADIAN border in 2012. Who knew it would now be used on a podcast?! A few connection issues towards the end of the conversation which is a shame. Some comical timing, as I cut him off in all his profound glory, and he disappears.
