Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional.

During my time, squash was not even part of Asian or Commonwealth Games. Considering the dominance of Jansher Khan and I in the '80s and '90s, it goes without saying that Pakistan would have bagged a plethora of medals through us at these games. And yes, the ultimate prize would have been an Olympic gold.

From Jahangir Khan

Squash was my livelihood and as in business, I had to stay on top.

From Jahangir Khan

It wasn't my plan to create such a record. All I did was put in the effort to win every match I played and it went on for weeks, months and years until my defeat to Ross Norman in Toulouse in 1986.

From Jahangir Khan

The pressure began to mount as I kept winning every time and people were anxious to see if I could be beaten.

From Jahangir Khan

You can't go on winning all the time.

From Jahangir Khan

Every winning streak will have to end sometime.

From Jahangir Khan

To be the best, I had to work harder than everyone else.

From Jahangir Khan

I wanted to start a proper academy and recruit juniors from all over Pakistan following my retirement after the World Open in 1993 but there was no support.

From Jahangir Khan

Generally the younger generation are not hard working. They will have to put in more effort to achieve results in tournaments. most of them can perform well but they cannot deliver when they play abroad.
