Episode 13

The interviewer becomes the interviewee this week on Serving Up Trouble as I chat with former French international player and podcast host Marie Migot!

Marie talks about how she's been able to find her game and rekindle her love of table tennis after a tumultuous time on the circuit as a young person. After feeling burnt out playing internationally aged 24, Marie took a step back from table tennis. Returning to the sport on her own terms has reignited her passion for play. She competes in the French League Pro A and her podcast "On The Edge" is full of deep and interesting conversations with personalities throughout the table tennis world.
