Ken has finished his competitive squash journey this year with 4 All Ivy, 3 All Americans, 2 Ivy League Championship rings, 2 Nationals finals plus being on the first team to stop the Trinity's 252 match winning streak.
On top of that - National Champion, multiple age group champions, Merit Sports boy award, .... many other championships, awards, etc.
Looking back from the accidental introduction to squash - basically sending him to a school break squash tournament with his brother so that he has something to do; his hanging around the squash courts waiting for the 'uncles' to play with him to hours of national training, multiple trips to participate in training/tournaments around the globe. The heavy investment of time, money and energy has paid off many times.
Through squash he learnt discipline, time management and ability to focus. As his squash improved, his mental focus also improved. Through squash he made many life long friends and found a mentor that guided him.
Squash also opened many doors that did not seem open to him including top premier schools like ACSI and RJC but also to Yale. Making it to Yale and graduating soon with a job in hand would have been something we dared not even dreamed of when he was 11 years old struggling to focus on his studies. Squash has been good to Ken.
