(5) Outreach to the Athletic Club Business. US squash needs to put a focus on putting a face on the squash business and making commercial club owners encouraged to install squash, and comfortable about the decision to install squash.

John Nimick pleaded with the squash adminstrators to focus on this activity, in an open meeting he held with squash "thought leaders" some seven years ago. His pleadings were ignored.
