External success isn’t always a reflection of internal success. However, if you can master your inner world, I believe success in your outer world follows. The Finding Balance podcast is a space to dive deeply into the inner world of the best players and coaches in squash, with the aim of illuminating the many different forms of success and the many paths that can be walked to reach them.

World #10 Saurav Ghosal on belief, being grateful, and letting go

SHOW NOTES:

I open the conversation by talking about Saurav’s recent run of form. He shares some of the reasons why he feels he has made progress.

We talk about India. Why he has decided to stay there and his thoughts on it.

He shares how squash made its way into his life and how he used to avoid any hard work until he moved to Chennai when he was 15. This was a seminal moment in his life which lead to him winning the Under 19 British Junior Open.

He talks about seeing James Willstrop winning the World Junior Championships in Chennai and being inspired to train with him after his junior career. He shares stories of the early days when that actually became a reality and the impact of having so many players training at Pontefract at that time.

He talks about his early years on the tour and how going to an English university challenged his way of thinking.

He reflects on what he’s learnt on and off court from 10 years of playing the tour. He talks about flowing with life and how that represents when he’s playing his best. He shares some of the habits and mental skills he’s developed, and what keeps him motivated after all these years.
