May 15, 2016 - Marwan ElShorbagy will reunite with Millfield School. He will attend the School's summer squash camps, which consist of a junior elite course from 1-5 August followed by the first school three day adult camp.

Marwan completed his studies at Millfield in 2011, but has been back to train with Ian Thomas the Director of squash and give presentations about his squash journey. This will be his debut in England as a summer coach.

Thomas is excited about ElShorbagy's return, having worked with him on a daily basis during his four years at school. "I admired his ability to maximise his training sessions, with athletes of different ages and abilities. He knew once the day is over, you can never get it back."

"Marwan had to show huge mental strength, when he had to qualify for selection for Egypt's U17 team at the British Junior Open Championship. Returning from England to Egypt to play nine matches in as many days, he won all nine. He went on to win his first British title. It was the platform that gave him confidence to believe. It was apparent then that he would become a top professional player."

"Marwan won all the remaining major junior events, including British Junior open U19 Championship and two World Junior Championships, joining an ultra elite group and becoming the first brothers in squash history to accomplish this great feat."

" Marwan is an infectious character. He will bring fun to all sessions, but at the same time he will share his vast wealth of experience and knowledge in all facets of the game."

"With an attention to detail in all aspects of training, the camp participants will engage with Marwan in practices and a variety of game situations throughout the course."

ElShorbagy will reunite with old school friends Petr Martin, now a professional coach running an academy in Prague, Mike Harris, head coach at Exeter Golf and Country Club. Carrie Ramsey, former world no 59, who is now a level three coach, budding professional Miles Jenkins, Thomas himself and Graham Williams, Head of strength and conditioning, who has worked with squash players for a number of years, including 2013 British U19 champion Angus Gillams.
