(by Coach Raymond/Butterfly Americas)

It is with immense pride and gratitude that I reflect on being named *Canada’s Table Tennis Coach of the Year. This recognition is not just a personal milestone but a testament to the dedication of my players, the support of the parents, community, and the growing passion for table tennis across the country.

Coaching is a journey of shared growth. Over the past years, my mission has been to foster skill, strategy, and sportsmanship in athletes of all levels. From nurturing juniors to guiding national competitors, every success story has been a collective effort. This award reaffirms the impact of our training philosophy: *technical precision, mental resilience, and unwavering teamwork*.

I extend my deepest thanks to my players for their trust and hard work, to fellow coaches for their camaraderie, and to Table Tennis Canada and Ontario Table Tennis for their commitment to the sport’s development. As we celebrate this honor, I remain focused on inspiring the next generation—because the future of Canadian table tennis shines brighter than ever.

Here’s to the power of sport to unite, challenge, and elevate us all.
