Q&A: Irish squash player Arthur Gaskin - ‘It’s great to get to travel, to play a sport you love'

Arthur Gaskin won his fifth Irish Senior squash title last weekend. The 32-year-old from Co Carlow has lived and trained in America since 2013, and moved to Orlando, Florida, before Christmas. 

Q: You won the National Championships in Dublin on Sunday, and are back on court in Orlando by the middle of the week. Is that typical of the travelling lifestyle of a squash pro?

A: Yeah, I’d originally planned to take four or five days off to rest and recover but I woke up today and felt pretty good so I might as well get back into it. My travel is predominantly around Canada, the US and Europe, with the odd trip to the Middle East and Australia thrown in there for good measure.
