NSL Talk Ep. 4! Matias Knudsen & TJ Dembinski

The Bragman Breakdown

Welcome to episode 4 of NSL Talk! The regular season has just wrapped up and we’re less than 2 weeks away from the NSL Finals at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We have 2 great interviews on today’s show, kicking things off with New York City Knights star Matias Knudsen. We talked about growing up playing squash in Bogota, Columbia, deciding to play college squash in the US, his viral trick shots that have taken social media by storm, his first year as a full time professional on the PSA World Tour (It really was a rollercoaster year for the Colombian) and more (4:41).

We then welcomed TJ Dembinski of the Newport Dragons onto the show. A 2-time All American and former collegiate National Champion at Yale University, TJ was drafted by the Newport Dragons in the 4th round of this year’s NSL Draft. The former Yale Bulldog grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, just down the road from his alma mater. We talked about his longtime friend and teammate (In high school, college, and the National Squash League) Spencer Lovejoy, his National Championship winning season in 2016, his former coach, the legendary Dave Talbott, what it's meant to him to be apart of the NSL's inaugural season, and more (1:04:35).
