Hello everyone! Mainly to our friend Ed!
What to say about you? The few times we were together, we became friends. And, who knows, friends for life!
As a coach, I can say that you are truly passionate about Table Tennis, that you know what you talk and teach, but you also still have room to be much better!!! Only the sky is the limit!
Being in the right place at the right time is not for people like us!
We are workers, we like to “suffer” to have what we like to have.
You are a 5 stars.
Keep going!

Ed has coached my two children, aged 15 and 10, on a 1-1 basis for almost a year now. Over that time my wife and I have grown to trust him implicitly with our children’s coaching and development.
Ed gives 100% in each and every session, always with the progression of his students at the forefront of his mind. He is able to create a training atmosphere that brings the best out in his students whether they be 8 or 80.
With trust and reliability a bond can be formed between players and coaches, that enables development that may not be found in another hall, with another coach. Ed enables this trust with ease.
I requested Ed cornered my my youngest son at the recent national championships. With his hard work he helped my son reach the quarter finals.
I would recommend Ed without hesitation.

Ed has all the qualities of a great coach. He’s knowledgeable, enthusiastic, supportive….the list goes on. He keeps himself at the forefront of table tennis and always has his finger on the pulse.
To have a great coach on our doorstep is truly a blessing for us Brummies.
My son Zain has been training at Nishkam with Ed over the last couple of years and to see him qualify and play at the nationals over the weekend was an amazing experience and the highlight of his table tennis journey. Every time he trains with Ed he comes away feeling happy,motivated and eager to learn.
Thank-you Ed for being a great coach and mentor.
Onwards and upwards!

In just a couple of sessions, Ed transformed my sons game. Already a decent club player, Oliver started beating everyone in the division, purely down to Ed’s observations and coaching.. An excellent, friendly patient and passionate coach, Ed helped improve my game, and I’m looking forward to continuing working with him. Highly recommended.

Ed is a fantastic coach. He understands that not every player is the same which allows each player to develop their natural game. During my training, Ed also encourages players to move outside their comfort zone, which enables them to have a better all round game. Although Ed plans his sessions based of hard work and drive, he still ensures the sessions are fun to create a positive atmosphere for all.
Whilst I have been working alongside Ed on the Saturday Sessions, he is always open to different variations of games and exercises to achieve maximum potential. It has been an honour to see the children’s progression on a Saturday and the bond built between the players and a coach.
