I am very happy upon having become the first Ugandan to get the WSF level one coaching certificate. This is a great opportunity for the development of squash in Uganda and the region. I thank the members at Kampala Club Limited as well as the Government of Uganda through the National Council of Sports (NCS) who supported me morally and financially. I am now eyeing the WSF level 2 coaching certificate.
