On The Edge Table Tennis

Chris est avec nous ! Avec un palmarès français extraordinaire, il se confie aujourd'hui autour de ce micro. Une longévité d'exception, un physique énorme, un bosseur minutieux. Qu'est-ce que le talent? Quel était son fonctionnement en tant que joueur? Il compare le ping à la F1 et parle de ce jeu comme je ne l'avais jamais entendu.  Bonne écoute !   Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

In this episode, I welcome Maxie, the co-founder of PingPod, a fully automated table tennis space, open 24/7, where everyone is welcome. He's an inspirational leader, and he shares with us his journey so far: how he discovered table tennis, and how and why he came up with the idea of creating PingPod. He also talks about his leadership style, how he brings out the best in his colleagues, and the bridges he sees between a sporting career and the role of leader. A fascinating episode, full of lessons and energy.   Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

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 !

A poignant account of a singular personality. But then again, who isn't unique? How do you break out of the box and create your own life? He reviews his life, his sexual identity, his journey to be himself in a sporting and masculine world. He reveals himself in all his authenticity and this could help many people from all walks of life. He is a five-time Luxembourg champion and will become a coach to help the children with their own development. A big cheers to that ! Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

Matilda Ekholm, a major name in TT world, takes us into a deep conversation. She's used all her experiences to help her develop. A whole personality who tells us how she manages her emotions, her androgenic side, how she built her game, her coach who understood her and helped her get into the top 20. 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 !

I'm delighted to welcome Dana Cechova, a former Czech national player and two-time Olympian. A woman full of energy who is not afraid to dream and to be what she inspires to be. She goes for it, she goes fot the goals she has set for herself. She tells us about her career years, the mother she became, and her transition to a normal life after a pro crreer and an intense life. From working in a bank to being an event supervisor for WTT, this post-career period is sometimes difficult and worrying, so she tells us all about it.  Enjoy the episode !  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) 🙂  Très bonne écoute ! Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

In english from 7min31s ! J'avais 15 ans lorsque je suis partie au Japon, seule, pendant 9 mois. Je vous fais ici un retour sur les choses qui m'ont marqué et qui sont toujours présentes dans ma mémoire douze ans plus tard. J'espère que ce récit vous fera voyager.  I was 15 when I went to Japan, alone, for 9 months. Here's a look back at the things that made an impression on me and are still with me twelve years later. I hope this story will take you on a journey.  MM Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

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 !
