Laura Massaro on Women Fitness:
Thanks for interviewing me and for taking an interest in the sport I love and play.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Laura Massaro:
Haha, I’m always moaning about how thin my hair is so it’s nice to hear it looks ok. With training all the time I have to wash my hair everyday which isn’t great. It means I need a shampoo that isn’t too oily but can help repair the damage caused with regular washing. As for my skin I have the same problems with showering 2-3 times per day. I try to moisturise well. I use – proto-col health and beauty products.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding professional squash playing girls who all are your fans, they shall like to know from you, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in field of playing squash?
Ms. Laura Massaro:
Like I said earlier, dedication day in, day out is hugely important. So is an attitude of never giving up and fighting to the last point. You never know what can happen. My motto is – You get out of life what you put in.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You won the British Open Squash Championship in 2013, the first English woman to do so in 22 years at the time, what preparations went into achieving this success and how do you feel on this landmark in your professional career?
Ms. Laura Massaro:
Preparations went great in the lead up to the British. I had worked hard with my psychologist to focus on getting the most out of myself and the home crowd.
It was by far my biggest win at that time and I feel honoured to be on the trophy with some amazing players who have won the title before me.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have won silver at World Squash Team Championships at 2008 Cairo, 2010 Palmerston North and 2012 Nîmes respectively. You have selected a sport where while playing doubles, it being a team sport, requires a lot of cohesiveness and rhythm between the players to finally succeed, how do you achieve that?
Ms. Laura Massaro:
I feel in the team events we have been a little unlucky. We have played well to get to the finals and we always give it our all in the final. Unfortunately anything can happen and we have always come out second when I have been part of the team. Each year we try to learn and move on taking our experiences on into the next event.
Hopefully this will be our year in Canada in November.
