James Willstrop | The Marksman

The Marksman is a deeply insightful documentary charting the rise of England’s James Willstrop from ‘schoolboy sensation’ to World No.1.
James reflects candidly on his career, from the astonishing highs of Commonwealth gold to the numbing lows of career-threatening injuries.
Featuring behind the scenes footage from the Gold Coast and exclusive interviews with father Malcolm Willstrop, and brother David Campion, The Marksman is a rare insight into one of the most gifted players of our time.

What a beautiful documentary, can’t believe how lovely James is. Lots of elite sportsmen are so intense, but James has an air of calm about him that makes him a joy to watch, on and off court.

The Squash player who makes you love this sport. The right shot at the right time, a steel mind and an irreproachable behavior. His fakes denote an enormous self-confidence and an irrepressible desire for originality in a sport where few players are capable of it. We will be left with the strength of memory. An example.

What a phenomenal human being James is, he is so clearly going to be an epic coach after his career.

[@feliperosito1414]

As his father, a true legend forever. Love to see James playing high level near from the '40s. He is so talented, very humble, and honest on the court. Will be a great loss to squash when he decides to stop.

I enjoyed this a lot. What a great insight into his career. He has every reason to be proud of the man and squash player he is, his parents were also rightly proud of him. I hope when he retires, we continue to see him involved visibly.

I met James at the Manchester open and what a great guy. Love watching your games James. Shots are beautiful. Wish i could give you a game. It would be the most glorious loss in my life. 👊😉

Tribute to my favorite player and hope to meet James on the court someday.

Never seen this before, thanks for putting it up. James is a great guy and plays beautiful squash.

Still to this day my favourite player to watch would love to meet him 👍

Wilstrop - maverick philosopher of squash, rebel colonel, and all-round mammoth of the game.

Superb

Now I am wondering if I met him in Paderborn…. Walked out onto the glass court myself and there was a small boy with his dad? The world is small…

Willstrop balances his brain halves….squash is the mathematical control side sprinkled in with his ala artistic side the triple windmill etc…and being on the theatrical gladiator sports stage….
