Table Tennis Club: President

I am standing for President because I believe the UCL Table Tennis Club can be not only a space for training and competition, but also a welcoming community where students build lasting friendships and feel truly connected. Sport has a unique way of bringing people together, and I want to strengthen that by creating more opportunities for members to interact beyond practice, through well organised social events, mixed tournaments, and inclusive initiatives that ensure everyone feels valued, regardless of their level. My goal is to maintain a balanced environment where both competitive and social members feel equally supported and motivated, and where every member feels that this club added something meaningful to their university experience.

At the same time, I want to improve the quality of our development sessions, which are currently overcrowded, limiting individual feedback and effective coaching. By reviewing the structure of sessions, optimising our use of tables and time, and exploring additional training opportunities, we can create a more efficient and engaging environment for skill development. Having been a member for two years and serving as Treasurer this academic year, I understand how the club operates and where it can grow, and I am confident that my organisational and leadership skills, together with my commitment and clear vision for the club, will allow me to lead it in a structured, inclusive, and ambitious direction.

I believe my passion and discipline for table tennis shapes me to be the perfect candidate for President— I’m not just here for the good weeks—I’m here for all of it. As a second-year, I already understand the rhythm of the club: what motivates people, what stresses them out, what makes training actually work. And I’ve still got the time and drive to commit properly and leave the team stronger than I found it.

Table tennis is my highlight of every week, training sessions to me don’t feel like work but fun—it doesn’t matter if it's trying out new techniques, refining my skills, or playing matches with others, I love everything about the sport. That love matters because it’s contagious: it shows up in how you run sessions, how you welcome new players, and how you keep morale up when fixtures pile up.

I’m playful, but I’m serious about standards. I want us to work hard, improve fast, and enjoy ourselves doing it—because the best performances come from teams that actually like being together. I’ll make sure everyone feels seen, like a family—competitive, supportive, and connected—so that we all feel like we belong in UCL Table Tennis.
