The triangle of success

For us talents come first so we always start from the player! Our next priority is supporting their families as much as we can, aware of all their efforts and the sacrifices they must make while supporting the sporting endeavours of their children.

Additionally, we understand that the personal coaches play an equally vital role in the player’s development and that they have their own requirements for training and taking care of the talents on a daily basis. This is why we offer a competent and hands-on approach, to help personal coaches deal with the daily challenges while maintaining the long-term vision for the athletes.

compass believes in the power and talent of the individual but we also believe that the right people and environment mean that talents can grow and improve fast and smoothly. We have found that good relationships and a foundation of trust between these three key stakeholders are vital to creating the best circumstances possible for the athlete’s success.

This is why we are determined to help families and personal coaches work together well. In addition, we value the mental health and well-being of the athletes so we offer guidance and a clear framework to protect the interest of all stakeholders involved with the players.

Furthermore, we place high value on the dual career concept so we support and focus on the combination of athletic career and education.

We work in 1-year cycles whereby we select talents receiving compass support through our application process.

During the year, we set goals and expectations of the players, we organise international training camps and our compass expert coaches assist the players, personal coaches and families with regular meetings through various communication channels.

We evaluate the players and their projects every 6 months and in addition we work with a simple reporting system in order to easily gather accessible information about the players on a monthly basis.

Latest technologies & scientific tools

Latest technologies & scientific tools

We believe that to meet the requirements of professional sport and table tennis in the 21st century, we need to have an evidence based approach combined with our expertise.

We are committed to bringing the latest technologies and scientific tools to collecting data and information from the players and their environment. On the other hand, we are simultaneously seeking all opportunities to work with the players, personal coaches, and families in order to understand them in-depth.

“For us development comes first, results second. Our concept is based on our experience and competence with talents over the last decades, understanding that having a vision and plan while delivering daily performances is a huge challenge and it requires external help to make the right decisions and choices.” – Evelyn Simon
