In early 1990, Martin was considering giving up the sport due to lack of progress (her world ranking had been steady at No. 6 for some years), until her uncle [[Lionel Robberds]] began coaching her, providing her with a rigorous training program of running, gym work and physical drills. Her confidence in her game and world ranking began to increase. In late 1990, she met Phil Harte, who was to be her manager from then until 1992. Harte suggested that, rather than wearing the traditional shirt and skirt during squash games, she should wear a two-piece [[lycra]] suit because it was "something sexy" that would "shake up the squash world" and gain publicity for her in the process. She agreed to do so, which caused much controversy.<ref name="smh1994" /> Fellow squash player [[Danielle Drady]], who was married to Martin's brother Rodney, later left him for Harte, who became her manager and similarly had her dress in [[plastic wrap|glad wrap]] for publicity.<ref name="smh1994"/><ref name="Gold Coast Sport">{{cite web |title=Danielle Harte (nee Drady) |url=http://www.goldcoastsport.com.au/Hall-Of-Fame/inductees/Danielle-Harte.html |publisher=Gold Coast Sporting Hall of Fame |access-date=30 August 2022}}</ref> Rodney became Martin's coach in 1998.<ref name="smh1998">{{cite news |url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?docID=news981111_0392_6193 |title=Our dynamic duopoly grinds out another year unchallenged |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=11 November 1998 |first=John |last=Huxley |page=45 |access-date=4 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161128191538/http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?docID=news981111_0392_6193|archive-date=28 November 2016}}</ref>
