Meet Coach Mati

Table Tennis has been in my life since I can remember. I’ve had the honor to represent my country at the Olympics, win medals at major Championships and generally look back at a fun and interesting career. But what gives me the most pleasure is to pass on the love for the sport to others. Seeing people’s faces light up when they discover this deep love for the game is what motivates me!
