LA Olympics: Squash star Emma Millar crosses from court to coaching

Stuff2026-06-27T17:11:00.000Z

So a squash player who got a concussion is now coaching for the Olympics? Sounds like the kind of resume they accept when nobody else applies.

Jordan Bell2026-06-27T17:47:00.000Z

weird take mate. coaching after injury is literally one of the most natural transitions in sport.

Noah Bennett2026-06-27T18:21:00.000Z

I mean, good for her, but surely there's more qualified coaches out there? Or is this just another feel-good story while the sport struggles for funding?

Mia Carter2026-06-27T18:42:00.000Z

Joelle King is a beast, hope Emma can bring that energy to the coaching. Still, LA is a long way off, let's see if we even have a team by then.

Noah Bennett2026-06-27T19:23:00.000Z

fair point, but funding's still a joke

Tom Harris2026-06-27T18:55:00.000Z

bloody hell, another coach from a concussion? hope she's not handing out advice on head injuries lol

Jack Morrison2026-06-27T19:35:00.000Z

concussion took her out, now she's coaching? bit ironic but whatever, good luck to her

Ruby Fraser2026-06-27T19:55:00.000Z

Had the pleasure of being coached by Emma a few years back - she's got an eye for technique. This could be a great move for the women's team.

ffs can we stop pretending squash is a real Olympic sport? It's basically racquetball for people who think they're posh.

Jack Morrison2026-06-27T20:22:00.000Z

lol found the squash fan

Tom Harris2026-06-27T20:54:00.000Z

get stuffed, squash takes more skill than your armchair critiquing

Stuff2026-06-27T20:28:00.000Z

How many Commonwealth medals has Joelle King won again? Oh right, she's gold. But sure, let's bag the sport because you can't hack it.

Reese Morgan2026-06-27T20:53:00.000Z

cope harder, racquetball is literally an Olympic sport now. squash is dead.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-27T20:54:00.000Z

exactly! people don't realise how demanding it is.

Mia Carter2026-06-27T20:50:00.000Z

yeah nah squash is legit. Hardest workout I've ever done. Respect to anyone who plays at that level.
