The Expert in a Year Challenge took part during 2014 and followed the progress of novice table tennis player Sam Priestley, as he attempted to go from beginner to expert in just one year and break into the top 250 players in England.
The guy behind the Expert in a Year challenge is Ben Larcombe, and he was the one acting as Sam’s coach for the entire process. The concept behind the project was something that he was thinking about and planning for a few years before the Expert in a Year challenge actually came to life in 2014.
