#3: Sachiko Shinta                              FULL WISPA PROFILE      

Who lit your squash spark? It was my friend who started me playing. It was more interesting than I thought before I played it.
Always squash, or could you have competed in another sport? I played badminton until I was 20 and started with squash then. Squash seemed to be easier and more interesting than badminton.
What do you hate most about training? I don’t like court sprints at all.
The best thing about being an international player? I can go over the sea to new countries.
Your favourite place to play events? Jamaica is a very nice place.
Filling in time before matches? I watch DVDs of games of squash and imagine.
Squash superstitions? No.
The worst thing about travelling? I need a lot of money!
Your travelling entertainment provider? My PC comes with me.

Pizza or pasta? I like pasta, but Japanese food is better!
Tea or coffee? Tea – Japanese, of course, but coffee too.
Fruit or chocolate? I eat a lot of fruit.
Just finished reading? A Japanese book so not letters you can write!
The album you listen to most? Missy Higgins
How many texts sent each day? 10 or more I think.
Sporting event you would most like to go to? I watch tennis, soccer and skating on TV so I would like to go to any of the championships.
Dinner with any sports person past or present? Ronaldinho the football player because I like watching soccer when he is playing. He looks like he is really enjoying matches.
Glass half full or half empty? Both. Sometimes happy, sometimes not.
Your life so far, one thing you would change? To be married.
Plans for the future? I would like to live over the sea.
