Book Testimonial - By Angela Guan (US National Team Member)
 
This is such an excellent book and such a fun read whether you're new to table tennis, have played your whole life, or anywhere in between. It is catered to a wide range of audiences and filled with so many fun facts, personal testimonials, cool statistics, and advice. Why Table Tennis has reminded me of how much I love table tennis and how thankful I am for how it has and continues to shape me into who I am.
