CEO of Dover Rug & Home Mahmud Jafri is proud to announce that Dover Squash & Fitness is partnering with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to provide coaching, training, and development for their squash team. Under the guidance of the legendary Thierry Lincou, who recently joined Dover Squash & Fitness as a coach, this partnership gives the Engineers the opportunity to further develop their skills in the area’s only state-of-the art squash facility. Thierry Lincou joins Dover Squash & Fitness after a very long and illustrious career on the Pro Tour. Thierry is the former world number one, world open champion, and a member of the French national team.
“It is a huge honor to partner with MIT and have Thierry on board,” stated Mr. Jafri. “Since opening several years ago, we’ve attracted some of the world’s top players and coaches, including Thierry, to participate in various activities to heighten the awareness of this great sport. He knows first-hand what we have to offer players. We are looking forward to a long relationship with MIT and most particularly excited about witnessing their team’s growth.”
Mr. Jafri is renowned for his unparalleled squash advocacy and contributions. A vital catalyst for the increase in interest for the sport in New England over the past four years, Mr. Jafri spearheaded an effort two years ago to train and develop the Pakistan National Team at the Natick facility so that the players could have an opportunity to be more competitive on the international circuit.
Dover Squash Academy has continuously espoused a mission to support and encourage the sport through coaching and mentorship. Dover Squash & Fitness Club in Natick is dedicated to hosting world ranked players for exhibition matches, coaching players of all levels, and arranging a variety of community events to support the sport.
