Dave Webster - Club Professional

Dave originally started playing squash about 25 years ago. His main sport was always Karate, where he would train 4-5 times a week and also taught at 4 karate clubs.

He achieved his black belt in 1978 and was competing at a very high level un til struck by injury. He was introduced to squash by one of his students as a route back to fitness and has never looked back. He still runs a karate club two nights a week.

His first squash club was Eastway Sports Centre. He decided to take his coaching qualification (level 3) and became the Eastway coach for over 10 years. This included the oppurtunity to do some coaching in Italy for about 3 years.

He was then invited by Connaught's Squash Director Neil Harvey to join the club.

In June 2000 he sustained a hip problem which was the originally the result of a karate injury and this resulted in him having to undergo an operation. This proved to be successful and he returned to coaching wihin 8 weeks. Unfortunately though, due to the nature of the injury he had to have an operation on the other side of his hip. Due to the popularity of Dave, the club held a fundraining event to help him financially with the costs of this operation, which once again was successful.

Daves' achievements with have been astronomical. He has coached a number of juniors to national and international standard in both karate and squash.
