This coming Saturday, October 10th, is World Squash Day, and the man who's put this all together is none other than Alan Thatcher. Alan wears his heart on his sleeve in this ep, laying out what squash has to do to avoid the black swan. In a nutshell, World Squash Day is a day for the squash community to come together, celebrate our great game and thereafter work towards addressing many of the issues that have stifled the growth of squash in recent years. Alan and I flesh out some of these issues and ponder several others all with a view towards celebrating our game this Saturday.

Episode 165 Alan Thatcher And World Squash Day

Alan Thatcher has been an integral part of the world squash scene for as long as I can remember. The founder of squashmad.com talks with me about squash's most recent Olympic bid setback, his baby Canary Wharf which is set to kick off in less than two weeks, and World Squash Day which he founded in 2012 in the aftermath of the World Trade Center 9/11 tragedy.
