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 with a mad group of expats. I started coaching four years ago with a group of three squash coaches. This group has now grown to five, and we mainly work with children and a thriving group of ladies. We have started to hold mini-tournaments. We hope these will be become a regular feature. Later this year we will run inter-club competitions and other social get togethers.
Vasan:
I have been playing squash for a few 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 sessions with, whether it is squash or racketball. Since having knee surgery a few years ago, I wear a brace to support my knee. This injury taught me how to play the game in a more relaxed and some might say proper way. I have taken up coaching others to try and give back to the game. In my day job, 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 (Squash 57). This 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. It provides an ideal opportunity to give something back to the sport. I like encouraging others to join the club and play for many years to come. The sessions we run are a combination of fun, exercise and competitive play. It is a great pleasure to watch individuals as their skills and enjoyment of the game develop.
Stuart Moore and Nic Attree also make up the five-strong LSRC coaching team.
