Picture this: by day an academic advisor at his alma mater of FSU; by night, embracing his true alter ego as the man with the plan, the webinar wizard who is formidably organized, brutally honest, and a multiple hat wearer: Willy Leparulo, the NCTTA President.

President Leparulo has been doing the night owl NCTTA grind for way too long, but through his sheer passion and vision, he has managed to sustain and visibly raise this humble organization of college table tennis in the USA and Canada to new heights.

And finally, due to his recent nomination for the USA Table Tennis Hall of Fame, he will get much deserved plaudits amongst other amazing USA table tennis HOF nominees.

Those that will be inducted alongside him during this summer are Coach Richard McAfee (Coach McAfee will be receiving the Mark Matthews Lifetime Achievement Award and he also helped NCTTA create the Coaches’ Certification program), Ashu Jain (A high level player who used to compete for University of Michigan during the ACUI tourney days), Dennis Davis (assisted NCTTA in earlier times with their relentless goal of achieving NCAA status one day) and Ken Brooks.

A worthy honor for the hardest working college table tennis president on the planet!

And so, in his native Italian I wish him “Auguri!”
