How much a pro player earn?

Credits to Youssef for acknowledging it when Mo wasn't at his best, love that! ❤

Great show!!

Respect the honesty - good interview.

what software do u use for this video conference recording?

Thank you for this podcast! I think many of us, who have both played squash and watch it often ( as I do) often wonder about the very things you are asking! With the exception of the top 10 ( or so) it must be difficult to make a living in particular when you consider squash is the poor cousin to pro tennis. These interviews are both fascinating and enlightening Keep up the great work!

37:30 - It may be too late, but he should have to go around with a sharpie drawn-on curly moustache for a month.

Wonderful.

Re: NSL... very, very hard to follow /watch. Especially without a clear explanation of the rules during the event.

43:12 bro is shocked that navy won the potter cup yet doesn’t know that the trophy is named after a navy alum and coach that won the title

15:36 don’t diss my F&M boy Kyle Broadhurst he’s a class player

Love it boys. Let me know for next season if you need an Ohio team.

I love the idea of nsl squash really needs league format tournaments but I would've loved it even more if the format was the normal one, with this format the sense of squash is not there. If you want to make it exciting maybe add the powerplay system used in the cib tournament last year or maybe make it 4 players per team and if it's 2-2 you choose one player which will play the last and deciding team. This format feels so American i don't see this idea having success outside America

Interesting.. I think the players should definitely come together for something like this.

super interesting hearing hearing AD's perspective. Really enjoy watching him play.

Thanks for this episode - Stuart Crawford is very refreshing - nice to hear an unfiltered informed opinion from a professional.

Personally, as a spectator, I’m glad to see some referees becoming more sensitive to problematic clearance movement, and biasing the incoming players more. The quality of the shot should ultimately decide it’s retrievability-not the subtleness of the block. I still hope referees begin to acknowledge that there is a difference between where the ball is and the optimal stand-off distance to strike it. Henceforth, there is a difference between the direct line to the ball and that of the optimal footpath to strike the ball.

I love the interviews but take it easy with the occasional " f" word please.

Great episode. Declan's such a stand-up guy. Hoping he can get back to where he was, but even if not he seems to have a great POV on his career.

Lol this guy. Hamza won the 2023 WSF World Junior Squash Championship

A helpful video can show the difference between the Asal-type of physical blocking & movement that is part of the natural flow of the game that Kandra is describing.

That thumbnail = immediate click

Hey, how about interviewing Clark Doyle? He was a former junior prodigy and former princeton number 1 who decided to step away from competing and start coaching. His father was also a national champion coach at Harvard. I think he might be really interesting to talk to. Love your podcast!

Brilliant podcast. Thank you :D

If you hit the tin you're not hitting the perfect drop lol plan and simple

So sometimes supplements are so badly watched over by the FDA they get banned drugs in supplements. Im not the best at writing. Not sure how to explain

Fantastic player. Hope he sticks with it.

Sounds like a man who has lost the love and is ready to quit the game…which is too bad because he is such a talented player.

If only we knew what your were talking about.

Great work! Fantastic end to end.

Agree that the rules are too vague and that Asal is exposing the flaws of the game by exploiting them but I disagree that this isn't something that should be complained about by fans and players.. All games reform and modify their rules to keep up with the demands of the present day and Squash should be no different. They need to start getting much tougher or a whole generation of Juniors will join the Asal Circus

The fact that Asal is able to keep getting away with what he does speaks more about the state of PSA refereeing than anything else. With how crappy the refs have always been, its insane to think that there hasn't been a player as dirty as Asal before. Some people want him to be banned but I bet another player will take his place if that happens. I legit feel like Asal has paved the way for other dirty players to follow in his footsteps and we'll be seeing many more of them on the tour in the next few years

and what do u know he just won the US nationals

These WADA guys sure seem like they enjoy their power. The delay in their response is costing money and really they should be liable for it.

Great content!

Great content, well done. Suprised this doesnt get a bigger audience.

Nice interview Sean

Dont worry about Anahat Singh. She's not Sachin Tendulkar who had pressure of a billion people. Mayhe a few dozen people in India are really invested mentally in Anahat PSA career whenever it happens.

US, UK and Egyptian players who get more chances to play tournaments and improve rankings not always the more talented.

People should stop treating Hamza as some exotic Oriental anomaly. Over hyping will screw him more

Squash is a game where maintaining your ranking is so much easier than tennis. Unless u get injured or go financially broke which impacts your ability to travel to tournament. If your are averagly consistent and just win a few rounds in platinum and gold, you stay fine.. Somebody like Carlos Alcaraz will never be possible in Squash. Top 100 to #1 in the world in 15 months with just 1 grand slam.

Joel makin at 5. Lol. That's high.

Finally someone ready to spice things up and talk controversy..Victor cracking top 10 winning Nantes, Marwan's resurgence, Nele Gillis thrashing Tinne. We dont even have to wait for whole season to see what dross he's talking(mostly). Marwan will be back to top 5. Farag will drop off the top 3. Assal still needs 2 years to crack the top spot. Coll will be no 1 , Elias no 2 and Assal will be 3. So Coll, Elias, asal, Ali, Marwan, mes, tarek as top 7

Solid player, smart guy. Good luck

Predictions and punditry! Stuart Crawford in the hot seat! The second part of this double header is contentious but unmissable and recored two weeks ago so let's give give Stuart some leeway. Starting with..."I don't think Victor [Crouin] will threaten top 10 this year." I'm pretty sure he's in the top 10 in tomorrow's rankings! Victor obviously caught 🔥and that's the beauty of sport. Next, Sean fairly adamant that Tinne is the stronger of the Giles sisters (as Nele rolled Tinne 3-0 in the Nantes final). Moving on, the up and coming players is definitely controversial. Stuart staying overly loyal (perhaps) to his Penn alums. I love calling out Aly Abou; he's class all round and has top 10 ceiling potential imo. Not sure about Andrew Douglas. Also sceptical about Curtis Malik (on Andrew's recommendation from hitting in England this summer). On the girls side, love all of Stuart's picks. Katie Mallif especially. I was slightly puzzled (disappointed even) on Stuart's take on World Juniors. I thought the lack of sportsmanship (from the Egyptians) had to be called out. Orfi is super high intensity (great!) but picks up doubles, blocks, fishes more than Asal (not great!). Stuart was there and didn't see it? C'mon man! Love the Brice Nicolas anecdote at the end: "might be the fittest junior ever...[wants to join the French sniper NAVY SEALS equivalent]...and it takes a pretty special kind of person to shoot people in the head in for a living!" In summary, squash fanatics will love this conversation. Sean and Stuart might be the best double act on squash social media right now. Bravo!

Stuart Crawford always delivers! Love his projections and agree with most of them (especially the Women's). Wasn't sure about MES at 6 even before Qatar and it's Murphy's Law that MES went and won it! But Stuart cleverly covered himself by asking for a cut of the prize money if he provided the chip on the shoulder that MES needed to win!! 😂 On the Women's side, Sobhy at 6 is brutal perhaps but Stuart makes a well reasoned argument. Hope that Amanda has a listen and uses it as bulletin board material! Should be a cracking season! 🎆

Hi, is the document mentioned at the beginning of the video regarding the Challenger Tour available online for reading?

ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ 🙄

Very entertaining. Great varied questions and Lisa is always fun to listen to!
