PRINCETON OVER TRINITY
Just in case
you wouldn't know, it's all about USA and Colleges' Championship
supremacy. Trinity was Top Dog for 13 years. After a
defeat a few weeks ago against Yale, Trinity bowed to
Princeton in the final...

Everything you never knew you needed to know about the Squash
World 20th February 2012
Thought you might enjoy seeing what I wrote to our friends
This is why we coach
Paul Assaiante
Dear Friends of Trinity
For the last 13 years on this Monday I woke up happy. Happy
because our men had brought another national championship home
to the college
Today I woke up proud. I have never ever been more proud to be
at Trinity, to be a bantam and of a group of young men.
Yesterday we lost in the finals to Princeton 5-4 in the national
finals to a terrific Princeton squad and I could not be more
happy for my dear friend coach Bob Callahan. He is a class act
and he has waited a long time for this.
Our path to the finals was challenging in that after losing mid
season to yale and seeing the streak slip away, we rebounded
beautifully and won the remainder of our matches.
In the quarter finals we beat Franklin and Marshall but did not
play well. Against Harvard in the semi finals we won a mighty
battle that finished Saturday night at 9pm
Fifteen hours late we were standing on court in front of a large
and boisterous Princeton crowd to play for the crown
We went down 1-2 after the first round, but came roaring back to
go up 4-2. Sadly our men could not hold off the tigers and saw
the lead slip away to a 4-5 loss
So why would I be proud you might ask
During the award ceremony both teams lined up to receive their
awards and to congratulate each other. I looked into the eyes of
everyone of our guys and there was not a dry eye in the house.
This loss hurt them deeply!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The boys went “all in” ! They completely exposed themselves and
as a result they felt the full pain of defeat. That is living
life to the fullest. Most people never take the chance to
experience either the elation of victory or the devastating
sting of defeat
They congratulated Princeton with class, and walked out of that
facility visibly shaken but like men!
In life you are remembered not for what you do, but for how you
do it.
This is a group that will be remembered as courageous and classy.
Vince Lombardi said “show me a good loser, and I will show you a
loser”
When we stopped on the garden state parkway to eat two hours
later they were still crying.
These men are not losers
They are champions, and they represented this game, this program
and this college in the absolute finest ways possible.
Please join me in raising a metaphorical glass to these young
men.
I could not be any more proud.
Coach A
Guys, completely swamped by
work. So no nice layout. No photos. No link to there or
elsewhere.
Just Paul Assaiante's words.
If you don't know who Paul is, he coached an North American team
that didn't loose a match for 13 years.
And then lost. A match. And a title.
And this is what he wrote right after.
Respect.

Everything you never knew you needed to know about the Squash
World 16th February 2012
Did you ever wish to meet and
chat with the World Number 1?
Sheffield Hallam University offers you that opportunity. And
offers is the right term, as the evening, although prestigious,
is free for all.
"Basically it's like an after dinner speaking type event
although in a theatre for 300 people (150 seats have been booked
already)" explains Nick, "and it's a bit like a TV type
interview from the host to find out about me, about my links to
my home town and what has helped make me successful.
"All played out using clips of me in action courtesy of Squash
TV.
"The audience then asks me questions and we continue from there.
Very informal but a very prestigious event."
Prestigious indeed, as the most recent people to hold such an
evening have included famous actor Brian Blessed, TV chef
Nigella Lawson, Premier League Football manager Neil
Warnock, former England Cricket Captain Michael Vaughan
and Olympic Gold Medal favourite in the Heptathlon Jessica
Ennis. All have strong links to the Sheffield & Yorkshire
regions.
It is a one-off and is completely free, like I already mention,
but if you want to come,
you have to reserve a place...
PSL & Dutch Leagues "This week for me was a
busy one on the league front as on Tuesday I made my debut
in the PSL English League for Exeter Diamonds and the next
day playing for my Dutch league team Esrein25 Hengelo....
