ABOUT DAVID
David Campion is one of England's most accomplished squash coaches and is proud to be based at Queen's. A former England National Coach, David spent over 20 years with England Squash, leading national teams and elite players to success on the European, World, and Commonwealth stages.
Throughout his coaching career, David guided five England teams to World Championship titles and coached numerous players to Commonwealth Games gold medals across five editions of the Games. His expertise, leadership, and commitment to player development have earned him widespread recognition as one of the sport's leading coaches.
Before moving into coaching, David was an outstanding player with a highly promising career. He reached the final of the World Junior Championships at just 18 years of age and later won the British Open Over-35 Championship in 2008. An injury unfortunately brought his professional playing career to an early end at the age of 21, but it paved the way for an exceptional coaching career.
David became Head Coach at Queen's in 1995 before joining England Squash five years later. He continues to coach at Queen's, where England's leading players regularly train under his guidance, including his brother, former World No. 1 James Willstrop.
In recognition of his outstanding contribution to both the club and the sport, David has been awarded Honorary Membership at Queen's. His wealth of experience, technical expertise, and passion for developing players continue to inspire squash players of all ages and abilities.
