Operations Manager, Director at Large,
and Coach
Marguerite Cheung
Although relatively new in Austin's table tennis community scene, my TT
career started when I was back in college in Taiwan where I was recruited
and started playing competitively. After college, I went to Canada for
graduate school and kept playing both for Alberta and later Manitoba
provincial teams for about 15 years. Throughout my playing years, organizing
and volunteering were always part of my life with regard to table tennis. I
have always felt that playing the sport and working for the sport go hand in
hand when you care so deeply to keep it alive and share it with others. My
past experiences have provided an invaluable foundation in allowing me to
do what I am doing today for the Austin Table Tennis organization. In my
current work as Operations Manager and a member of the coaching staff, I am
fortunate to be able to do what I love which is to help promote table
tennis, the sport, in my capacity at our beautiful facility here at the Austin Table Tennis Club.
I enjoy teaching and coaching all ages players especially in beginners where I love seeing the basic/solid fundamentals being taught and learned by my students.
