Join us for a brand-new edition of the TTDCast as we sit down with elite French coach Julien Girard, fresh from leading Dabang Delhi in UTT Season 6!
🏓 We dive into Julien’s unique coaching journey, from adapting to the modern, ultra-fast game to shaping some of France’s brightest emerging talents. He shares his insights on France’s rapid rise on the world stage, what it’s really like preparing to face legends like Ma Long, and how he helps players bring their true level out when the pressure is highest.
Julien also opens up about the evolution of his coaching philosophy, why every player needs a different approach, and how amateurs with limited training time can still make huge improvements. Plus, we get into the early days of coaching Romain Ruiz, the iconic “strawberry” shot, and the importance of letting players express their individuality at the table.
