Mattia Luigi Contu

I've been playing for the Italian National Youth Team since I was 10 years old till I was a Junior, then I became a Trainer of Second Level in Italy.
I've worked with little children and also as Second Coach in the First Division Ladies team (Serie A) in Italy with several matches as First Coach.
We won the title in Serie A with TT Zeus Quartu in 2013/2014.
In the last three years I coached the Quattro Mori team in Serie A, leading them to the play off in Serie A and reaching 3rd place in Ettu Cup in the last two editions (20/21 21/22) and opening the doors of the Champions League in the season 22/23.

I've been trained and I also worked with international coaches and players,being a witness of their way to work, such as Vlassov Sergei (Rus), Yang Min (ITA), Massimo Costantini (ITA) best coach ITTF award 2018, Massimiliano Mondello (ITA), Lorenzo Nannoni (ITA) actual coach of National Italian team, Laura Negrisoli (ITA), Guo Yu (CHI) Andreea Dragoman (ROU), Plaian Tania (ROU) and saw several professional player in the hall of Cagliari in Sardinia where I grew up.

My background as Physics student permits me to have good skills in pre and post Match Analysis and Statistical Methods about Training sessions that permits me to help High Level players but also beginners and young one to perform in a better and precise way what they need to use their potential and improve their skills and be capable to stay in a constant growth.

My decennal background as a private teacher for universitary and high school students has permitted me to be a good communicator and empathetic, being able to recognise the psychological status of an athlete and being able to help the athlete in the best way possible to get him ready to compete in a better status.

I've also followed my athletes Dragoman Andreea and Plaian Tania in some WTT International Competition with their National Team of Roumania as external observers, to keep my Analysis on going and also to grasp the reality of the International Table Tennis panorama level at the moment, but also to gather as much infos as possible about trainings, surroundings from the best coaches and players of the international scene.
