KARACHI:

Faheem Khan, a proud Pakistani squash coach, has made his mark on the international squash scene, recently being selected to coach the US National Junior Squash Team at the prestigious Battle of the Border tournament between Team USA and Team Canada.

The Battle of the Border is an annual event that showcases the top junior squash talent from both nations in a thrilling team format. This year's edition took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Team USA retained the trophy after a weekend of high-intensity matches.

"It was an incredible honor to represent Team USA and work with such talented young athletes," said Faheem. "The players displayed exceptional skill, sportsmanship, and team spirit throughout the event."

Faheem's journey to this achievement spans three countries and over two decades of dedication to the sport. Born and raised in Pakistan, he began his squash career coaching young players at home before moving to Dubai, where he spent several years training and developing junior talent at an international level. In Feb.2020, Faheem moved to the United States, where he now serves as Head Squash Professional at Life Time King of Prussia in Pennsylvania.

Under his guidance, many of his students have gone on to achieve top national rankings, win championships, and represent the US in major international tournaments. His story is not only one of personal success but also of inspiring young players to dream big—whether they are from Pakistan, Dubai, or the US.

Faheem's role at the Battle of the Border is another milestone in a career dedicated to growing the sport of squash and nurturing the next generation of champions.
