So does squash make you poop? Yeah, buddy, it does. It’s the sport’s dirty little secret—one of those things nobody talks about but everyone has experienced. You’re not weird. You’re just a biological human playing a fast, gut-wrenching sport.
Next time you see your opponent dash off court between points, give them a knowing nod. We’ve all been there. Now go book that court, drink your water, and maybe, just maybe, allow yourself five extra minutes in the bathroom beforehand. Your body—and your opponents—will be grateful.
Just remember: it’s not a character flaw. It’s just squash.
