Grant told Observer Online in an exclusive interview that it was time for new leadership with fresh energy to guide the team forward. “After doing it for over 30 years, I kind of feel now that the time has come when probably younger people can put some sort of energy into it,” Grant said.
“When you are coaching at a school like Kingston College, it comes with a lot of energy and hard work to get a big team to where you want it to be competitive every year. When you have done it for so many years, you need new dynamic people to come in and put in the necessary work.”
