Moustafa Hamada Joins Men's Squash Program As New Assistant Coach
September 13, 2018 | Men's Squash
Moustafa Hamada, a two-time national champion and former professional player, has joined the Princeton men's squash program as assistant coach. He replaces Tyler Osborne '15, who was named head coach at Navy during the summer.
Hamada was a four-year starter and eventual co-captain at Trinity, where he helped lead the Bantams to national titles in both 2013 and 2015. A former Egyptian Top 10 player as a junior, Hamada followed his successful Trinity career to both play at the professional level and begin his coaching career in the West Chester area. His passion for the sport led him to run his own professional tournament in 2017, but his desire to return to the collegiate game led him to accepting the position at Princeton.
"We are delighted to welcome Moustafa to the Princeton coaching staff," head coach Sean Wilkinson said. "He has significant college squash experience, including two national titles at Trinity. I'm thrilled to bring in a coach with that type of success at this level. He has already hit the ground running, and I know he'll be a huge asset to our program."
"I am very excited to be part of the Princeton team," Hamada said. "To have the opportunity to work with one of the most iconic programs in college squash history is a great honor. I look forward to working with Sean and the rest of the staff to lead the team to more success in the future. Go Tigers."
Both Hamada and Osborne were individual winners in the most famous match in Jadwin — and arguably collegiate — history. While Osborne's victory at the #3 position helped Princeton to the 5-4 championship victory, Hamada showed impressive poise as a freshman to rally for a 3-1 victory at the #9 spot.
