Develop Your 'Super Strengths': Nick Mat...

Simon Mundie
About this episode

How to go from all-rounder to outstanding. Nick Matthew is the greatest squash player in English history - a genuine legend of the game who reached world number one and won both the World Championships and the British open (the Wimbledon of squash) on three occasions. To reach the top, Nick had to pivot and adapt on several occasions, eventually working out his 'super strengths' to be able to take him to number one. Nick had an incredible desire to improve, but underneath his drive and determination is a deep love for the sport, and the sense of transcendence it brought him. Since retiring, Nick has started developing the next generation of young talent - and has continued to evolve as a coach and person. He is full of valuable lessons anyone can learn from.
