Thanks, appreciate that. It's not easy to juggle with my workload, but aiming to keep it going for as long as I possibly can

About time for a new episode, no?
Episode 9 is with Thiago Monteiro on a 20 year+ career in France. We talked about his decision to leave Brazil to live abroad full time and permanently, the first player to do so in his time and the legacy it created for the generations after him!

Also new thumbnail style thanks to the creative team at JOOLA

Episode 10 with PingPod CEO Maximilian H. Kogler is out! Really enjoyed this one!

We talked about the conception phase through to construction of PingPod and how they are strategizing, using digital, coaching and tech strategies to make table tennis more accessible. They are on a mission to bridge the gap between social and competitive table tennis!

I had another great podcast with The almighty Founder we as usual never shy away from the topic at hand! Had a great and lengthy podcast on what is holding table tennis back when it comes to having recognizable athletes in the mainstream and marketing personalities for the promotion of athletes and the sport etc!

Slowed down a bit but i'm still here! This podcast with Matilda Ekholm is focused on the challenges she faced in her career after qualifying for both Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympic Games - but having her nomination denied by the Swedish Olympic Committee. Matilda qualified for four Olympic Games across her career and was able to participate once in Rio 2016.

Episode 14 of Talkin Smash is out. A great podcast with MLTT Founder and Commissioner Flint Lane. We talked about America's first professional table tennis league, Major League Table Tennis. It was a perfect time to reflect on Season 1 and chat about what is coming in Season 2 and in the future of MLTT!

 

[Matt Hetherington]

A new episode of Talkin' Smash with Thiago Monteiro. We spoke about whether players sometimes focus on prioritizing too much in certain areas of table tennis, or approach them with the wrong mentality, in order to try and improve their game.
