Who lit your squash
spark? |
My
Mum and Dad both played and introduced me to the game when I was
seven years old. It’s a hard sport to get into without parental
encouragement. |
|
Always squash, or
could you have competed in another sport? |
I
used to swim as much as I played squash, but eventually chose squash
over swimming as I wasn’t keen on having to wake up and swim lengths
for an hour before school started. |
|
What do you hate
most about training? |
Definitely court sprints ….. no question! |
|
The best thing
about being an international player? |
The
best thing is being able to see so much of the world and stay in
great hotels and locations. It’s also great to know people in so
many different countries. |
|
Your favourite
place to play events? |
Hong
Kong, Qatar and New York are all favourites. If I had to choose one
it would probably be Hong Kong as everything is so accessible over
there and the people are always friendly. |
|
Filling in time
before matches? |
It
varies depending on where you are but I try not to do anything that
takes up much energy. Generally I read, watch dvds, eat, do my
laundry. Nothing exciting! |
|
Squash
superstitions? |
Nothing outrageous, but I always like to spin for serve (something I
have done since junior days)! |
|
The worst thing
about travelling? |
As I
have a fear of flying, I have to say planes! Not ideal when I am on
one every couple of weeks! |
|
Your travelling
entertainment provider? |
I
like to read a good biography. |
|
Pizza or pasta? |
I do
like both, but I will say pasta as I do tend to have this more. |
|
Tea or coffee? |
Coffee (at the moment). It changes quite frequently. |
|
Fruit or chocolate? |
I
love both but definitely have a higher fruit intake than chocolate
for obvious reasons. |
|
Just finished
reading? |
Wayne
Rooney’s biography. |
|
The album you
listen to most? |
I
mainly listen to chart music. |
|
How many texts sent
each day? |
Too
many at the moment. I need to cut back in the New Year! |
|
Sporting event you
would most like to go to? |
Any
Grand Slam event apart from Wimbledon as I have already been there a
few times. |
|
Dinner with any
sports person past or present? |
I
read Paula Radcliffe’s biography and was very impressed so it would
be great to meet her and have a chat. |
|
Glass half full or
half empty? |
I’m
trying to keep it half full! |
|
Your life so far,
one thing you would change? |
I
would change every match I have lost to a win! |
|
Plans for the
future? |
To
remain within the world of sport and work in a sporting environment. |
