Need system to produce table tennis champions

Promise alone is not enough without a system that supports long-term growth: Sharath Kamal

Veteran paddler Sharath Kamal believes Indian table tennis needs a well-defined system to help young talent make a successful leap to the senior level.

While recent results have been encouraging, the 43-year-old insists that promise alone is not enough without a system that supports long-term growth.

"We can't rely on one-off stars, we need a structure that consistently produces champions," Sharath said.
