Meet coach Will
Table tennis has been my passion for as long as I can remember—it’s shaped my life and even brought me to settle down here in Hungary. Like many players, I’ve experienced the proud highs and the frustrating lows that come with the game (I’m sure you can relate!).
My mission as a coach is to share my knowledge, help you improve your technique, and guide you toward achieving your goals – so you can enjoy more victories and fewer setbacks along the way. Let’s take your game to the next level!
