PongNow Interview: Dora Kurimay

PongNow: Dora Kurimay

Posted on

(by Steve Hopkins)

The PongNow Interview Series – talking table tennis with some of the best players and personalities in the sport. The guest this week is Dora Kurimay, a part of a European Championship Hungarian Team, Dora moved to the U.S. to seek a graduate degree and has since forged a path as an author and teacher and sports psychologist (while maintaining a presence as a table tennis coach and player).

Normally in our little sport, we have a choice between table tennis players who have solid insights in a narrow sphere, or we reach out to great sports psychologists who have backgrounds in other mainstream sports and we try to adapt those insights to our sport.  Dora Kurimay provides a unique opportunity to read insights of a trained psychologist who was also a world class athlete.

Dora’s books and instructional videos can be accessed through her website at www.dorakurimay.com.
