Jerome Elhaik
After previous careers in chemistry and translation, Jérôme Elhaïk realized he loved both writing and sports, especially squash which he discovered in 2008. Now a full-time squash journalist, he covers major events in France (National Championships, PSA tournaments etc.) but most of all he likes interviewing players/coaches in order to get a deeper understanding of what they're going through.
