UVA's JP Tew
Jackson and Gilly are back for a post-Thanksgiving episode of Squash U featuring one of the top American players in college squash.
The gents kick things off talking about why Gilly refuses to go see Gladiator 2 in theaters, what the CSA should do about the month-long break in play from mid-December to mid-January, and their dreamThanksgiving plates (0:16).
University of Virginia men’s #2 JP Tew has taken a unique path to becoming one of the best American players in the CSA. Growing up in the Midwest, JP often struggled to find competition to help push him to the highest level, but his dad, a former Harvard squash captain, served as his biggest supporter and motivator. Now in the midst of his junior year for the Cavaliers, the Cincinnati native is one of the steadiest players in the country.
JP joins Jackson and Gilly to talk about how this year’s UVA team differs from those of years prior, things he would change about college squash, deciding between Harvard, Penn, and Virginia during his recruiting process (and an important phone call that may have swayed his decision), and more (26:55).
Huge thanks to JP for joining us, huge thanks to you for listening along, and, as always, enjoy!
