Real stories. No lets. Just squash.
In 2022, Sivasangari Subramaniam was preparing to carry the Malaysian flag at the Commonwealth Games when a life-threatening car accident changed everything.
She woke in hospital with a fractured C1 vertebra, little memory of what had happened and no certainty that she would ever play professional squash again.
She did.
Sivasangari joins the Squash Player Podcast to discuss surviving the crash, the brutal physical and psychological process of rebuilding her career, winning Asian Games gold and the extraordinary London Classic victory that proved she could once again beat the best players in the world.
But success brought a different challenge: expectation.
Siva talks candidly about perfectionism, putting too much pressure on herself, comparisons with Malaysian icon Nicol David, learning from some of the game's greatest champions and why the accident fundamentally changed her perspective on losing.
And with squash heading to LA28, she explains why becoming World No.1 and winning Malaysia's first Olympic gold medal are now the ultimate goals.
A conversation about survival, ambition, pressure — and remembering that sometimes it really is only squash.
