My name is Karl Martin and I'm 14 years old.
I play table tennis for Northland and I'm in year 10 at Whangarei Boys High School.
I've been playing table tennis for about three years and I suppose I like it because it's an interesting game.
The best thing about it is meeting
and playing other people but also it's a challenge to get better at anything by training and playing in tournaments.
The worst thing about the sport is ... nothing, there is no worst thing. I want to keep playing for as long as I can and go as far as I can in the sport.
On the morning of a competition I eat week-bix for breakfast.
