Real stories. No lets. Just squash.
Welcome to the very first episode of the Squash Player Podcast. Our first guest is four-time World Champion Ali Farag—a player who has not only shaped the modern game, but defined what it means to win with humility, faith, and integrity.
This is a different kind of conversation. It’s not about squash tactics. It’s about what happens when you chase greatness, catch it… and realise it isn’t enough. Ali Farag opens up about identity, faith, family, and what really matters — on court and off.
In this conversation, Ali opens up about:
- The pressure of legacy and chasing history
- Balancing faith and performance during Ramadan
- Why Harvard changed his life forever
- How family, faith, and self-doubt shaped his journey
- And how fatherhood reshaped his squash
This is an intimate, revealing conversation with one of the sport’s most admired champions.
