Cover girls who give squash and racquetball a massive profile
By FREDDY RAMIREZ – Editor of Restrung Magazine
I just want to point you to a thread of some similarities that can speak tons about what both Racquetball and Squash look like. On a number of levels if you care to dig deeper. (There are some key underlying truths here.
If you read my blog, you know I’ve written a ton about Mexico’s world racquetball champion Paola Longoria. (Just check the archives.)
Like squash’s Vicky Boswell (nee Botwright) she has embraced a variety of modelling assignments (right).
Nicol David is a superstar in her world of squash. Her record is running significantly longer in dominance, (although Paola’s winning streak is crazy,).
– Both dominate the professional women’s side of their sport.
– Both are celebrated in their respective countries. (Mexico and Malaysia)
– There is drastic separation between the rest of the pack in terms of social reach and notoriety.
– This includes separations from the top athletes on the Men’s Pro side.
– Both are bigger than their respective pro tours…in aggregate. (Anyone connected with or follows what has been going on with these tours, knows.)
– Paola Longoria 77.6 K Twitter Followers (Roughly up approx. 36.3K since I first mentioned last June.)
– Nicol David 84.1K Twitter Followers. (You know you’re big time when they use a decimal points instead of actually bothering to show exact numbers.)
Just saying’…
