Given the fact that Australia is a nation blessed with sporting talent, David Palmer could have chosen, and perhaps excelled, in any sports form. But seeded No six for the Punj Lloyd PSA Masters Squash tournament to be held in Mumbai shortly, Palmer chose the demanding sports of squash and has proudly stuck to it for the past decade.
"While I was growing up, I tried my hand at tennis and soccer, but Squash has always remained my favourite," Palmer says.
The veteran who was part of Australia's Institute of Sport specifically for Squash which was established way back in 1985 feels success in squash can be achieved if key elements such as identifying talented juniors and then having a variety of coaching styles could be implemented suitably.
In fact, Palmer attributes his 50 PSA tour finals and 107 consecutive months in the world top 10 to a good training program.
"A disciplined regimen has helped me stay injury free and to learn to win on days when I am not at my best," he says.
