Anna, Laya was showing me a video of those Egyptian girls playing squash — so fast, like water spiders on a tank. When I asked why all the top players come from one small country, the neighbour's son (he's a coach in Chennai) said they start them in the district clubs, not private academies, and the government keeps the courts cheap. Reminds me of our old government hospital system — when we had good stock of medicines and trained nurses, we could treat anyone. If you want excellence, you don’t sell the access to the highest bidder; you water the roots first.
