Mark's nomination story

Mark is an extremely hard working, enthusiastic and charismatic coach who everyone warms to. His passion is table tennis where he has had great

personal success competing in the local King's Lynn league, but as a coach working for Top Coaching he has taken many juniors with disabilities to

national tournaments, where they have done well.

Mark does regular coaching for disabled people at Lynnsport and Walton Highway and recently engaged with West Norfolk Deaf Association to run some activities for people with disabilities. Through Mark's dedication and hard work, saw the first disabled tournament at the King's Lynn Table Tennis Championships.

Mark has also assisted the Borough Council's Urban Sports Motivator in running sports camps across King's Lynn. Whilst some of the youngsters

could be disruptive, Mark really focussed their attention to working hard and achieving positive results and really gained the respect of these children. CR
