ACHIEVEMENTS

Maggie Tian was born in Dandong, China. She started to play table tennis at age of 6. She had been training and playing professionally since she was 9 years old before retiring from the Liaoning provincial team in 2008. She played in the Croatia League for a season before coming to the US in 2009 and has been a full-time coach since. As a player, Maggie won many medals. The most memorable one was the Gold Medal at her very first US Open in 2010 where she won the U21 Women’s Singles.

Maggie’s passion and knowledge in coaching was quickly recognized in the US. She was
selected as one of the US National Team Coaches in 2016. She has coached many US National Team members domestically and internationally. Her most proud achievement was at the 2017 ITTF World Cadet Challenge in Fiji where the US Cadet Girls’ Team won the Silver Medal in Team event and Bronze Medal in Cadet Girls Doubles – a record that hasn’t been broken as of 2022.

Maggie does not just take coaching as a job, she enjoys it, too. She equally appreciates working
with high level players as well as true beginners. Nothing makes her happier to see players
improve. In her leisure time, Maggie spends all her time with her baby born in 2019. If there is ever spare
time, shopping.
