When or on what occasion did you first realised that you had Table Tennis talent? I have always been good at sports but I first realised I had 'talent' after doing well in junior tournaments.
How has table tennis influenced your outlook if at all?
I have reached a good level at Table Tennis. That has given me confidence to believe that when I go onto the table I am going to do well and this confidence also spills out into other areas of my life.
Is the way you play table tennis a reflection of your character? I think so. On the table I am determined although I try to be quite relaxed. When the pressure is on though I step up a gear and my concentration and focus are at their max. I rarely get distracted during a game if I am under pressure.
Who is/was or has been your greatest opponent?
Over the years I have played several international players like Alan Cooke and Alex Perry but I don't count these as great opponents. My greatest opponents have been players like Costas, John Taylor, Glen Wilkes and Dov Katz who I battle with year-in year-out the Wembley and Harrow league.
Can you recall the times you were "in the zone" when everything went perfectly and seemed to happen without effort? I think I have been in the zone many times but unfortunately it never lasts long enough. You realise you were in the zone when you come out of the zone! The zone was much better when the games were up to 21.
