George, 96: “Squash is not only sport, but my way of life.”…

George Jarosz is 96, he’s been playing squash for about.. 50 years in the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club, and plays squash with his daugther Renka

on a regular basis bless him!

Andrew Thompson, Director of Squash and Fitness at the club, told us “I gave him lessons on his 80th and 90th and 95th birthdays, he is an inspiration to all of us at the club!”



“I am an architect,” confesses George. “I was very very busy and I was getting fat. I always took my clients to lunch every day. I had one engineer who worked with me, he said, George, you should play squash to keep in shape.”



That was over 50 years ago.

“I was actually a tennis player”, he adds, “but when I started squash, I found it was my game.”



But why this longevity in our sport? “Squash is a very good sport. I love the process of getting tired and sweaty, and I feel great.. You know, Squash is not only sport, but my way of life.”
