Not too many athletes make the successful transition from one sport to another, but, for Nicholas Verwey, the move from the football pitch to the squash court has seen him establish himself as one of Guyana’s premier junior squash players.
In less than four years as a squash player, Verwey has recorded unprecedented honours both locally and abroad.
As a result, you can make two general conclusions; firstly, he’s just a phenomenal athlete, and secondly, he is benefiting tremendously from the well-documented quality of Guyana’s junior squash programme designed and implemented by Carl Ince and his lieutenants.
