Dear NCTTA members,
Christian Lillieroos, our Texas Division Director, has a high level Swedish
coach contacting him regarding both studying in an U.S. college and possibly
playing/coaching for that institution, in exchange for scholarship covering
tuition + room and board. Please see Christian's e-mail cut and pasted below my
signature at the bottom.

That coach's academic interest is in pursuing a Master's degree in psychology
or possibly PhD. As far as I know, many institutions do offer automatic
scholarship for students enrolling in Ph.D. programs anyway so if that coach is
accepted to the Ph.D. programs directly, then I do not see a problem of him
coming to the U.S.

Anyway, if you are interested in arranging for such arrangements, then please
contact Christian at clillieroos@... or texas@.... I know that
almost all table tennis teams are currently operating at the sports club level.
However, some of our more established clubs, such as Hopkins, MIT, etc. might
consider doing some information collecting work for that coach from Sweden (such
as looking into your own school's psychology department, admissions criteria for
graduate studies, etc) and possibly influencing his decision to join your
school. Furthermore, Canadian universities have excellent higher education
programs along with very affordable tuition. You can do your own sales work as
well.

Thanks!
Jack Wu

All NCTTA schools,
I have information that could interest you for next season.

A high level Swedish coach contacted me, who was one of my coaches when I was a
junior and also worked with Mikael Appelgren and J-O Waldner, and he is
interested to come to USA and coach for a University team next school year. He
would do the coaching in exchange for a full scholarships including room and
board. His academic interests are in a Masters in Psychology or maybe even a
PHD.

This will give the team a much bigger boast than if you had a good player. On
top of that he is not a bad player either (around 2400). When he was younger he
was junior national champion in Sweden.

If you approach your school it is possible they can see the benefits in that for
the school and grant a scholarship. This is much easier to arrange than a
salaried position as a coach. He speaks good English and has been to USA 2 times
before already. His name is Alf Knutsson and is very well known in Europe.
If you think you have an interest in this, email me and I give you his contact
info.

Sincerely
Christian Lillieroos
