I'm delighted to meet up with Patrick Franziska, the giant of table tennis ! He's a very humble champion, who grew up and developed as a player in a very strong German national team. Talented from a very young age, he tells us that you have to listen to advice but above all get to know yourself to understand what you need. He tells us about his most difficult moments, in particular the challenging year of 2024, which he overcame with humility and bravery, as well as his happiest moments, particularly during the team events, which he finds most stimulating and rich in emotion. I won't say any more, enjoy! Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

Trop contente de retrouver Pauline et Anaïs pour qu'elle nous racontent cette finale des championnats de France. L'une médaillée d'or, l'autre d'argent, un moment délicat, beau et bourré d'émotions contradictoires. En couple dans la vie, elles nous parlent de comment elles ont fait pour jouer un match de cette ampleur... l'une contre l'autre. Un bel échange qui retrace leur beaux parcours, leurs compétitions et cette victoire qu'elles partagent ensemble.  Une thématique différente qui j'espère vous fera découvrir des facettes de ce sport inconnues du grand public.   Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

She's qualified for 4 Olympic Games but has only played once, she explains why, she loves the game and has decided to return to competition in the USA to end her career the way she wants. An analyst with the finest details but the wildest emotions. I highly recommend this episode if you want to get to the heart of her sensibility.     Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

Je suis très heureuse d'accueillir Prithika dans On The Edge ! Elle a atteint les sommets très jeune : à seulement 20 ans, elle a participé à 2 Olympiades. Elle fait actuellement partie du top 20 mondial. Elle parle beaucoup d'équilibre, que ce soit dans son attitude, dans son jeu, dans sa préparation ou dans la vie. De nature introvertie, elle se livre avec beaucoup d'aisance et nous partage son parcours, depuis ses débuts, son ascension, le décès de son coach, les Jeux de Tokyo et les Jeux de Paris 2024. (Et je lui trouve un côté spirituel qui peut être fera écho)

In english from 7min31s ! J'avais 15 ans lorsque je suis partie au Japon, seule, pendant 9 mois.

This episode is with Anton Pleijsier, he's been Britt Eerland's coach for 23 years and if you want to get to know him and learn from his experience, you've come to the right place! An atypical personality who I personally adore. A coach dedicated to women's table tennis, he has learnt over the years to train himself. He's the person in the shadows, he's not looking to be in the spotlight and yet he deserves it. An episode mainly for coaches!    Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

Le ping est en train de prendre une ampleur extraordinaire à travers toute la France. De quoi écrire un petit texte sur un sujet qui me trotte dans la tête depuis un bon moment.
