Other Tidbits

Hobbies/Interest: Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Running, Golf, Hanging out with my friends [a lot], and obviously squash.

Favotite Athlete: My Favorite Squash athlete would probably be>Natalie Granger. It looks like she works very hard and tries her best at becoming the most successful Womens squash player she can be. One summmer, she was my "legal guardian" for a day, when I was leaving Harvard Squash camp and had to wait for my flight. She ended up spending the whole day with me, because of delayed flights, and I remember her telling me about her squash career and how to excell more for my game.

On the game: Squash is probably one of the most strenuous and competitive sports out there. It's really fun and that's pretty much why I like it so much.

Thank you: Thanks to Ed for teaching me from the beginning. To Dad for basically being my 2nd coach, wanting the best for me, and being my main competitor. To Mom for making it possible for our whole family to go to the tournaments and managing to cheer me on while still worrying about James getting loose in the squash courts. And to Nathan, for a great year.
