Readers React To James Willstrop's Book Excerpt
Posted February 23, 2012
"This is so laughable it defies description.
The man simply doesn't GET IT.
The no. 20 player in the world is a nomad, an unknown pauper.
Who would you rather be- Jeff Stanley or Jonathon Power?
Not even close.
Great excerpt- classic myopia.
Parochialism at its finest."
"Where did James Willstrop get the notion that Trinity is the most famous college sports team in the US?"
"Quite a diatribe by Willstrop! I guess he wasn't happy with Mark Talbott being honored that night at the TOC."
"I don't agree with most of it, but what he said was entertaining."
"Willstrop lays into 'the colonies' pretty substantially. But he's essentially just a young kid running his mouth, as kids do. When he's lived a little more, and maybe gotten a college education, his perspective might be different."
James Willstrop talks candidly about America's association with squash in an excerpt from his new book.
"A Shot and a Ghost: a year in the brutal world of professional squash" is available from www.willstrop.co.uk and on Kindle.
