Dear Table Tennis Community,
Thanks so much for supporting my table tennis playing career through my gofundme account. Training for the Olympic trials was a great experience and I learned much along the way. Now that the Olympic trials is over, I'm going to continue full-time in table tennis coaching, promoting the sport, as well as competing. Today, I just won the Erie PA Open coming back from down 0-2 in games and down match point in the 4th. I'm excited to continue playing tournaments this year in preparation for the US Nationals in July.
At the Arnold Challenge last month, I got demolished 11-3 the first game by Yichi Zhang. I had previously beaten him 4-2 in our last encounter, but this was a totally different opponent that I was facing. If I pushed, he hit a winner. If I blocked, he went right through me. If I looped, he counterlooped with extreme power. It seemed that he countered everything I did with extreme ease. I realized that I could not play my normal game and win; I had to go for more if I were to put enough pressure on him.
