A trailblazer, sports enthusiast and someone who has a desire to see young people develop to their full potential, are among the many attributes that can describe veteran national coach Richard Walcott.
The 66-year-old celebrated 43-years as a national squash coach this past weekend.
Walcott who began his journey as a squash coach on the 28th of February, 1978 at age 21, reminisced on how it all started. He thanked local squash legend and pioneer Rudy Goodridge for introducing him to the sport and affording him the opportunity to coach.
“I always wanted to be a coach. I always found myself with younger people and I was in total control. When I was coming up, I would have been with fellas much older than me, so they influenced me and I would influence the youngsters because of my upbringing.
