At 27 years of age, 7 World Championships, 4 British Opens and at least 22 PSA titles to her name, Nour El Sherbini's accomplishments in the game are mind blowing. And amazingly, this chapter of her career, the one which has her winning the most prestigious events in the sport consistently, is far from over. Nour and I talk about her highly successful 2022/23 campaign, the women's game, the passion of Gregory Gaultier, Nicol David, and much more.

Teacher's deserve more than a day, so all this week we're shining a light on those who inspire, educate, and guide us in unique ways!

One of the most inspirational squash stories you'll hear, Wee Wern Low has undergone 4 knee surgeries throughout her pro squash career, and has just embarked on a comeback that this time has nothing to do with getting back to the top 10 or winning tournaments; it's about inspiring others and proving that if you put your mind to something you can be successful. Wee Wern opens up about her career, reaching the top 5 in the world and then shortly thereafter having to undergo the first of four eventual knee surgeries. The 2018 comeback at the Malaysian Open after her third surgery is an incredible story and she looks back on that. Also, we discuss the frustration and disappointment she's experienced after having been dropped from the Malaysian National Team over the summer, and of course she gives huge props to world squash and Malaysian legends Nicol David and Ong Beng Hee for how instrumental they have been in her career, along with her long time coach Aaron Soyza.

Malaysian Nicol David talks to Uma Doraiswamy about the moment she became world number 1 in squash and how she stayed there for 9 years in a row. When she first started playing, her racquet was bigger than she was. Through her hard work and perseverance, she dominated the game winning titles and trophies throughout her career.

Asha and Non speak with Nicol David and Mariana de Reyes, Co-Founders of the Nicol David Organisation (https://www.facebook.com/Nicol-David-Organisation-105653835379096 ). They share how the organisation is empowering children through sport and education, and developing the next generation of Malaysian squash talents.

Welcome to the next instalment in the SquashMind Podcast series. Today I'm being joined by Jenny Duncalf. Jenny is one of the greatest players that England has ever produced. She reached world number two in December 2019. She's won ten professional tour titles. She's got 112 caps for England, which is phenomenal. She's also managed to get three silver medals at the Commonwealth Games, only being stopped on most occasions by Nicol David. She was in a generation where Nicol David was playing and arguably Nicol David was one of the greatest players to play the game. So for Jenny to become world number two and be slightly behind Nicol David, is nothing to be sniffed at. As a junior, she was the European Junior champion and she won two individual European titled as a senior as well. She managed to get two British National titles and was also part of the winning England Ladies team at the World Team Championships in 2016. She had a real good period and we talk about it in the podcast a little bit more. In 2009, she won three big titles back to back, which ultimately got her to world number two, the Soho Square Open in Egypt, the US Open and the Qatar Classic. She lost in in the World Open final in 2011 to her nemesis Nicol David. We go into quite a cool discussion about her trying to compete with Nicol and how this was. The conversation is really broad, really wide ranging and one that I think you'll find super insightful. It's so great to hear how she opens up. She is very honest about the mental side of the game, and we go into a lot of discussion around what it was like and her environment, growing up, and being coached by her father in law David Pearson, who was also the national coach in England and was the coach who produced Nick Matthew, Laura Masara, Peter Nicol also. So, you know, having someone like David as your father in law is going to put you in a good place to start a career. It's just such a cool conversation we got on really well and lots of little tips to take from what she has done in her career. She is currently the master of ceremonies for the PSA and she comes across brilliantly. She has been really well received in that. And she's also the junior Australian coach. She lives in Australia, in Brisbane, in particular with her partner, Rachel Grinham, who herself was a world number one. And we have a little discussion around how that was competing with someone you are in a relationship with and her philosophy around the junior squash in regard to Australia is insightful, really opening the mind and really got me to think a little bit about my philosophies and how things are going with the way I coach as well. She has such a wealth of knowledge being world number two, being playing for 17 years on the pro tour, winning loads of junior titles, number one in her age group, all the way through her junior ranks. And it's just a fun conversation. You can tell the passion and enthusiasm in her voice. She enjoys what she does massively and I hope you'll find a lot of takeaways and a lot of nuggets from this really insightful chat between myself and Jenny Duncalf. One small caveat, the sound recording is not great on this in the first 15 minutes of the podcast. There was quite a long delay. She was in Brisbane and I'm not sure if the distance had anything to do with it, but it gets a little bit easier as the podcast progresses, so hopefully you can stick with it because it's really insightful of what we talk about.

More importantly, she is a good person with a strong sense of self and despite all the accolades, is extremely humble and grounded with her principles.

As she has been famously quoted, "Being number one is something I had to earn every day."This is an incredible episode on pursuing your passion, the value of failures, and the power of mental toughness. Datuk Nicol teaches visualization, humility, and positivity. We also discussed the following data points on mental health and female athletes with Datuk Nicol:1) According to a 2020 study by Stanford University and Strava, 22.5% of professional athletes reported feeling down or depressed on more than half of the days of the week compared to 3.9% of athletes reporting the same struggles before the pandemic hit. That's an increase of 477%. The American National Collegiate Athletic Association examined the impacts of the pandemic on 25,000 college athletes and found that there were elevated rates of anxiety, hopelessness, mental exhaustion, and feelings of depression across the board.2) Elite women's sports are predicted to generate US$1 billion in revenue in 2021. A Nielsen study found that 84% of general sports enthusiasts are interested in women's sport. The 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup drew 1.12 billion viewers while the National Women's Soccer League's viewership swelled 493% in 2020.

Hayley grew up playing her squash in Brooklyn, New York at the iconic Heights Casino, and we look back at those days, and the first time she met her idol Nicol David. Currently, at 41 in the world, the future is nothing less than exciting given the depth of competition in the ladies game. Haley talks about this and what she needs to do to keep moving on that upward trajectory. Most importantly though, we revisit her unforgettable 2020 Thanksgiving Day.

Jenny Duncalf speaks about Raneem's incredible career looking back to her world jr. champion days, her early years on tour, Jenny's personal head to head with Raneem, the rivalry with Nicol David, and what makes Raneem such a majestic player and person who always gave back off the court.

Alison Waters has an impressive resume: multiple British caps, 4x British National Champion, former world number 3 and still a threat to any woman playing the game today. An ankle injury forced her to withdraw from the Windy City Open in Feb, so this unfortunate suspension of play on the PSA tour has given her a bit time to rehab and recover. Alison takes a look back at her years at #3 in world during the Nicol David era, and what the future holds with the new up and coming young stars breaking through. She also tips her hat to her close friend Vicky Lust.

We carried out our first Live interview on this episode of Why People Do What They Do, as we are all staying home and trying to keep safe and healthy during this global health crisis. We were so excited to carry out our first live session with none other than world champion and squash queen, Datuk Nicol David, who shared with us her journey from holding a squash racket as a little girl, right to the top spot in the world arena. She shared insights into her love for the game, what kept her on top for nine years straight, and how the dream still remains even after retirement through the Nicol David Foundation. We hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as we did. Produced by Publish a Story Nicol David’s social media platforms:- FB: @nicoldavidofficial IG: @nicoldsquash

Today, we continue the conversation with a Champion. Hitting her first squash ball at the age of 2.5, Liz Irving’s destiny seemed assured with a Squash World #2 Mother and competitive playing Father forming her DNA – but is it a genetic pre-disposition or is it more about the environment she was raised in? Rising to World #2 herself and inducted into the Australian Sports Hall of Fame in 2011, she also went on to coach Malaysian legend Nicol David from 2003 to the present which has included 9yrs consecutive as World #1!Currently residing in Amsterdam, where she runs her successful Liz Irving Elite Squash Academy, she has somehow found time to develop an innovative and comprehensive app called The Squash Lab.This woman has that Midas Touch and somehow does it all with a humility and grace that allows her to continue creating new and expansive business ventures.Thanks Liz for speaking to our community amidst any jet lag you may be experiencing as you’ve only just flown in from Amsterdam… Contact Liz: Twitter: @lizmirving Facebook: @lizmirving Website: www.squashlab.net Go to http://www.bit.ly/thenatandsarahshow to catch this week’s livestream!

The PSA and Squash TV can only be delighted having Aisling Blake as a mainstay on their squash commentary these days. Former Irish National Champion, European Team Championship runner-up for Ireland and World #21, Aisling adds incredible color and expertise to the already talented Squash TV cast of characters. Aisling's story is brimmed with experiences that we can all learn from as squash players, including a heartfelt look back at her Irish National Championship in 2013 and what it was like to be a part of the Nicol David and Liz Irving team in Amsterdam.

Nicol David made a legacy as the first Malaysian squash player taking the gold medal for nearly 10 years consecutively when she was just 14 years old. The Malaysian people's champion, since her announcement to retire from global squash competitions, has been busy lately making inroads to bring the racquet sport closer to the youth of the nation. David was also appointed as a UN National Goodwill Ambassador and is en route to launching her foundation to empower the younger generation, particularly girls, to get access to, compete in and simply have fun in playing squash.

Former world No.21, Irish national champion and SquashTV commentator, Aisling Blake sits down with OTG to chat about Sligo, Trinity College Dublin and the secret behind Nicol David's rise to world No.1.

In our second episode, we meet renowned physiotherapist Jörg Teichmann from Rehamed Therapy. Having been working for the Malaysian National Olympic team for years, Jörg decided to start his own business in Malaysia. Among the elite athletes he worked with were NBA Superstar Dirk Nowitzki and Malaysian Squash legend and long-time world's number 1 Nicol David. Jörg shares some of his experience and explains why coming to West-Germany from East-Germany after reunification was a greater culture shock than moving to Asia from Europe.

2018/19 was a break out season for Millie Tomlinson, reaching a career high of 20, earning her first English cap and defeating legend Nicol David in Hong Kong of all places. Millie sort of flew under the radar until last season, but she's definitely among the best players in the world now. Nantes is her first event of the 2019/20 season, and she's looking to hit the ground running.

Fresh off a 3 medal haul performance at the Pan Am Games in Lima this summer, Hollie Naughton is set to get her 2019/20 season under way at the China Open next week. Hollie talks about the highs and lows of the Pan Am Games and her 2018/19 season. Obviously she's had an eventful summer with the Pan Am Games, but even more she enjoyed a bit of R&R in Colombia with Nicol David and Amanda Sobhy, and shortly afterwards had her wisdom teeth extracted :).

The greatest female player of all time graced the In Squash podcast online studio with her presence, and she well exceeded all expectations. Her resume is the stuff of legend: 109 consecutive months at #1 in the world, 8 World Open championships, countless medals at the Commonwealth and Asian Games, very much in a nutshell. Nicol looks back at how she was able to overcome the physical adversity of playing girls/ladies much older and stronger than her during her junior years, how she was able to avoid any serious injury throughout her illustrious career, her mindset as the playing days were winding down, and her current passion, the sweet science :)

Liz Irving has been Nicol David's coach for the past seventeen years. As David retires, OTG talks with Irving (the daughter Jenny Irving from Ep.5) about how she guided David to unprecedented heights.

In this episode we speak to Dato Nicol David, World's Number 1 Squash player and our nation's pride to find out why she's retiring from squash and what her future plans are, how she was such a competitive in nature. We also dig deep to find out about just how humble she is.

Last month Nicol David, the greatest female squash player in history, announced that she was going to retire from the pro tour later this spring. Here she talks with Outside The Glass about what she loves about the game, the Olympics and having dinner with Roger Federer.

Only a few have successfully parlayed supremely successfully professional careers into equally successful careers as coaches; Liz Irving is among those in this rarefied air. She's reached world #2 as a player, helped Vanessa Atkinson make the leap to world #1, and famously coached Nicol David during her illustrious reign as queen of squash; that's an impressive resume. Liz looks back at her promising junior career, the changes she made that took her to world #2, coaching the aforementioned two world #1s, and putting all of this expertise into her new squash app, Squash Lab.

The 2018/19 campaign couldn't have gotten off to a better start for Raneem El Welily; 3 finals, 2 victories, and a real look at regaining the #1 world ranking. Raneem and I talk about her summer training in Egypt where she worked hard with her coach Haitham Effat. We also take a look back at that memorable 2015 season when she took the number 1 spot from Nicol David (who held top spot for over 100 months in succession) and became the first ever Egyptian woman to achieve world #1 in professional sport. We also discuss a recent TedTalk she gave and her feelings on driving in Cairo.

The proof is in the pudding, Jenny Duncalf is without question a super talent both on and off the court. Having reached and spent several years at world #2 behind the recently crowned GOAT of ladies squash Nicol David, Jenny continues to play at the highest level and looks to return to the court soon following a summer hip surgery. Jenny took us inside her life on tour which is three-pronged these days as a player, women's president of the PSA, and as MC for several major PSA events.

Last season, the PSA Tour was set ablaze by Nicol David making videos of her dancing with fellow pros. Here is the inside story. And Mark Talbott talks about Tom Cruise and dancing at Grateful Dead shows.

Former world number 1, world champion and current world 7, Laura Massaro made a huge impression on episode 38. Her run of consecutive super series titles came to an end this year, but nothing to be ashamed of; her career speaks for itself. After defeating Nicol David for the first time and in doing so winning her first major title in 2011, Laura really never looked back. We talk about staying fit and healthy as she approaches her mid-30s, playing in the shadow of Nicol David for so many years, and the dynamic relationship with her husband/coach Danny. Enjoy!!

Sam Cornett is representing Canada at the Commonwealth Games in Queensland this week, playing her first match on Thursday against Guyana's Mary Fung a Fat and a potential 3rd round match against squash legend Nicol David. Sam has been knocking at the door of the world's top 20 for a few years now, and gave us some time on the podcast to discuss her preparations, her backstory, and her future.

In January 2016 Laura Massaro became the World Number One in squash. This week on the Best in the World with Richard Parr, Laura talks about her journey to becoming number one, the moment it happened and how she coped with the pressure of being the best. The English player also discusses competing in an era where Nicol David was the World Number One for nine years. She also gives her thoughts on why Egypt is now a dominant force in the sport. The 2013 World Open winner also talks about the importance of having the support of sponsors. You can follow Laura on Twitter @ljmassaro and LIKE her page on Facebook facebook.com/LauraMassarosquash.

Kim Mothershaw speaks to Nicol David, the athlete regarded as Malaysia's greatest ever sportswoman

Maria Toorpakai grew up in the traditional tribal region of Waziristan, and from an early age decided she would rather play with the boys than stay inside with the girls. So she burned her 'girly' clothes and cut her hair short so she could run and jump and wrestle outside. When her family moved to Peshawar Maria picked up a squash racket for the first time, and by the age of 16 was Pakistan's number one player. Her success led to death threats however, and she was forced into hiding and playing only in her bedroom. Maria now lives and trains in Canada. Her book A Different Kind of Daughter: The Girl Who Hid From the Taliban in Plain Sight (with Katharine Holstein) is out now. Malaysia's Nicol David has dominated women's squash since 2005. She was the World No 1 woman player for an unprecedented 9 years. Nicol says her greatest win was her first world title when she was 22 in Hong Kong, which came as a complete surprise. She started playing squash with her sisters to work out her hyperactivity, and quickly became a junior champion. She says squash is like 'physical chess' - you are always thinking ahead by two or three moves.
