Responsible for the development of MBF's coaching activities and HSM coaching.
Ildiko played table tennis for 10 years in Transylvania, Romania, until she was 16. She moved to Hungary at that time and then to Finland in 2008, and after studying, she started playing table tennis again at MBF in 2017 and developed quickly. She is the Finnish champion in women's singles and mixed doubles at the age of 40. Ildiko has completed the first-level coaching training of the Finnish Tennis Federation and has learned a lot from her father, who works in Hungary and is a table tennis coach. These are useful when she helps her daughter, -- the best Finnish player in her age group -- Kamilla, to develop. Overall, the development and success of MBF juniors is a matter of the heart for Ildiko. In addition to coaching, Ildiko is the club coordinator for MBF.
