IMPACT OF SPORT
She credits the sport with helping her develop physically and mentally. "Table tennis made me feel confident. It was a sport I could become very good in, and I wanted to see how far I could go. It has also made me stronger physically and opened my eyes. To be hungry for more knowledge, to evolve as a player, [it] made me the person I am today. I am very grateful for all that it has taught me." (ittffoundation.org, 29 Jan 2021)
