Meet Your Coaches:
Martin Carey:
I used squash as a replacement for football at the age of 33, when living in Hong Kong in 1995, and immediately fell in love with the game. I started coaching four years ago with a group of three other squash coaches. This group has now grown to six, and we mainly work with children and a thriving group of female players. We have started to hold mini-tournaments, which we hope will be become a regular feature. Later this year, we will also run inter-club competitions and other social events.
Vasan:
I have been playing squash for many years and love the game. I try to play as many times a week as possible. I’m always looking for new players to have games with, whether it is squash or racketball. Since having surgery, a few years ago, I wear a brace to support my knee while playing. This injury has taught me how to play the game in a more relaxed way with a stronger focus on technique. I have also taken up coaching others to try and give back to the game. Outside of the court, I work for an IT services provider in Telford.
Dave Johns:
I have been playing traditional squash for over 40 years. More recently I took up racketball (also know as ‘Squash 57’). Racketball is a bit easier on my ageing body, especially my knee and hip joints. I decided to take up coaching in 2021 and completed the Level One training. I enjoy working with children and adults on a Saturday afternoon to help them improve their skills. Coaching provides an ideal opportunity to give something back to the sport I love. I like encouraging others and I’m always asking aspiring players to join the club and play for many years to come. The sessions we run on Saturdays are a combination of fun, exercise and competitive play. It is a great pleasure for me to watch individuals as their skills and enjoyment of the game develop.
Simon Hundal, Nic Attree, and Karam Deol also make up the six-strong LSRC coaching team.
