Episode 309 - Joel Makin

In squash - The Podcast

2023/24 saw Joel Makin finish in impressive fashion, playing in my opinion the best squash of his career. He's back to world #9 after finishing 2024 with a flurry; a win in Manchester and of course an extremely impressive British Open with wins over Tarek Momen, Yousef Ibrahim and the 2024 World champion Diego Elias. Joel and I talk about having to overcome injury woes earlier this season to finding the best version of himself when it mattered at the business end of 2024. We also deep dive on his epic battles with Yousef Ibrahim, Mostafa Asal, his win in Manchester and of course his epic British Open.
