As I’m sure you are aware, sport is not just a common hobby for people with spare time anymore, it is a full grown global obsession. As well as being a career for some lucky people, it is a sacrilege that is commonly considered worthy of lifelong dedication, me included. But it is a very rare occurrence that you meet someone who describes themselves as self confessed table tennis addict, despite the nation’s love for sports such as rugby, football, cricket and even tennis - a similar concept to table tennis but with more exercise.
The majority of people, who are interested in sport, if asked, would say that they like playing table tennis and the majority of those will say that they are very good at it, but it’s the significant minority, even an anomaly that regularly plays or attends a local club training sessions.
Table tennis is an extremely fun sport that has the same health benefits as other alternatives, and is less expensive than other sports too, but still it remains the unsung hero of our nation’s sporting spectrum.
I personally am a huge fan of playing table tennis, although much like the majority I have only played it a few times. I for one intend on intensifying my love for the under-exposed sport and am seriously contemplating purchasing a table of my own.
If you are a table tennis addict and would like to put your comments across, leave a comment on this blog.
Many Thanks
