Passing the baton of greatness: How Saurav Ghosal mentored Anahat Singh to historic World Junior glory

Saurav Ghosal mentored Anahat Singh, who became the first Indian to win the World Junior Squash Championship on July 25 at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada.

Ghosal, a former ace squash player, adopted a flexible role as friend, coach, or mentor depending on Anahat's needs, emphasizing humor and tough love.

He exploited Anahat's intense fear of losing by setting up a match where he exposed her technical weaknesses, motivating her to adapt and improve.

Anahat Singh, 18, from Delhi, defeated top Egyptian seeds in the tournament by executing tactical game plans with clinical precision.
