The World Squash Federation (WSF) has announced details of the 6th World
Squash Development & Coaching Conference, which will be held in Cairo, Egypt,

The event, which boasts presentations from a number of the sport's leading
figureheads including former world champion Jahangir Khan and his coach
Rahmat Khan, will be staged during the Women's World Junior Championships in
Egypt's capital city.
"The previous conferences in Netherlands, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Brazil and
Australia were judged by all delegates to be an outstanding success and a
marvellous aid to the improvement of squash coaching and development
techniques," said WSF Chief Executive Ted Wallbutton.
"We hope that the 2003 Congress, in the historic and fascinating atmosphere
of Cairo, will be even better, with its imaginative programme designed by the
Egyptian Squash Association (ESA).
"The Conference will provide an excellent resource for advanced and elite
coaches to share new techniques and cutting edge ideas," Wallbutton added.
"The keynote speakers have been specially selected to challenge established
ideas and give delegates a renewed vision and enthusiasm. This Conference
will be a landmark in the life of any enthusiastic squash coach."
After a welcome from ESA President Mohamed El-Menshawy, the conference will
be opened by WSF Vice-President Joyce Buckley and an introduction to the
programme ahead will be given by Conference Director Sameh Hussain.
Presentations will include 'The application of Performance Analysis to elite
level squash' by England Squash's World Class Performance Video Analyst
Stafford Murray; 'Marketing for Sports Events' by Dr Taher Khalil of the ESA;
