Welcome to Know the Game!
"For young players starting their table tennis journey, Gordon Fearn is for me the optimal table tennis coach. It's in that environment our paths has crossed, but I'm sure Gordon fits right into most settings.
"The combination of in depth table tennis knowledge, on a clearly higher level than necessary when operating with young beginners/intermediate players, with multisport knowledge and in addition the ability to both see each individual in the group as well as have them listening and learning, takes a lot of skills.
"The training is always serious but delivered with a good portion sense of humour, making the young players wanting to come back for the next session, prepared to answer relevant questions about the game or to take on a challenge".

"I worked with Gordon towards London 2012 Olympic Games. The reason for working with him was his expertise in Speed Agility and Quickness and the ability to translate skills to performance. He was an integral part of my success team which managed to achieve a Gold medal at this event. The qualities and philosophy he brought to the team added great value and experience in the performance arena! Gordon has great empathy not just as a coach but also towards the athlete. His sessions are very athlete focused with progress always at the forefront of his thinking. I would without doubt recommend Gordon to be part of any performance team moving forwards as I feel he has great qualities and experience in lots of different areas to enhance a performance environment."
