Creating high performing internationally successful athletes in an amateur sport with limited resources, as table tennis is in Australia, presents a significant challenge – one which we will face head on.

“No matter how far in front I am, I always view it as how far behind I really am.”
- John Murphy, National Head Coach (Able-Bodied)
