With the 2024-2025 CSA season only one week away, Jackson and Gilly are back for another fun episode of Squash University. The gents kick things off by recapping Penn alumni Aly Abou Eleinen’s huge upset win over Mostafa Asal at the US Open, and check in on Jackson’s Detroit Lions and Gilly’s Philadelphia Eagles, before getting to this week’s interview (0:16).

Since squeaking onto the Connecticut College roster as the team’s #15 his freshman year, Brendan McClintick has had a burning passion for the game of squash. This passion drove him to improve leaps and bounds over his collegiate player career, as he worked his way up to the #1 spot for the camels by his senior year. Almost a decade later, McClintick finds himself with an opportunity he’s been dreaming of for years, a college squash head coaching job. The 2016 Conn grad served as an assistant coach for Bowdoin College for the last three seasons before being promoted to head coach this past summer. McClintick joins Jackson and Gilly this week to talk about what people can expect from the Polar Bears this season and in seasons to come with him at the helm (24:24).

As always, thanks for listening and... Enjoy!
