“The coaching sessions have been really helpful, it has allowed me to get more 1-1 coaching in with Callum, and this has improved my game and confidence. In addition to sessions, I have had the opportunity to support the delivery of the community table tennis club. The teaching on my A-Level programmes has been really enjoyable, and the college has made adaptations and allowances for me to go to national squad camps and training.
I’ve had a good season becoming the Welsh U18 Champion, and have recently won a team silver in the Senior Schools Jersey event. I’m now looking forward to participating in the European Youth Championships in the Czech Republic in the upcoming weeks.”
