Jude Whitton - Regional Development Coach

Last week I was appointed as your new Regional Coach - I have been appointed on a part time basis so over the next few months I will be developing my role to bring you as much information, news, developments from the TTAW as possible.  In order to do this I will be spending as much time as I can working with Ryan and Dennis to work out a plan for the area and allocate my time accordingly.
My E Mail Address is judewhitton@googlemail.com so please do not hesitate to contact me regarding anything table tennis related.
Aled had made a huge contribution and we were sorry to see him go but I assure you that I will work as hard as possible and dedicate my time accordingly.

Recognise some faces?

For those who do not know me here is a little bit of my TT history I was introduced to Table Tennis at the age of 14 when my dad and brother played at Dillwyn Llewellyn TT club in Swansea,  I was coached by Janet Evans then Alan Griffiths.  At the age of 16 I had my first Welsh Cap. I played alongside Natasha Williams, Bethan Daunton, Laura Collier and many other amazing TT Players.  As a senior I continued to train travelling to Cardiff twice a week after work to be with the elite squad,  I played Swansea & Welsh League, Women's British League and European Women's League and in 2 European Championships.  My most memorable experience was travelling to China and Singapore to play for Wales in the World Championships and Commonwealth Games.  I am married with 2 wonderful children Lara and Finn and my Husband Matt is a great support,  I live in Llansamlet Swansea.
I was quite a late starter compared to others but to me there is no age limit, as long as you have passion and are prepared to put in the hours you can achieve almost anything.

Ok thats enough about me, I am hoping to get this blog up and running again over the next few months so please be patient!  Please keep in touch e mail me or contact me on my mobile number 07428782602.  I have another job which I work 2 full days on a Monday and Friday so on these days I will be unavailable.
