Miscellaneous


Fi has been at the top level of professional squash from a playing perspective and a coaching perspective. She is a former National Champion and Commonwealth Games Bronze Medallist, and was in the top 20 in the world for 19 years, reaching a high of number 5. She has also coached for England Squash at the top level and was based in New York for 4 years running a squash programme as the Head Pro. In this conversation we talk about both sides of her life as a player and a coach, and how she found them to compliment each other. She talks about the benefit of rivalry, her most challenging moments, and also shares an incredible story about how she made the semi-finals of the World Championships under far from perfect circumstances. But what this conversation is really about, underneath it all, is being who you truly are. Being unafraid to show up as you are, and the enormous benefit and freedom this has on your daily life as well as your craft. The way that Fi articulates her story is inspiring, and one that I hope gives permission and confidence for us all to show up and express ourselves more as we truly are.
