In 2025, many people think that they learn best with videos instead of articles.  I somewhat disagree.  Reading, thinking deeply about the topic, picturing it in your mind, reheasing it, and continuing to remember it are some important aspects of learning.  So today, I wanted to share some of my favorite coaching articles with you.  Take an hour.  Take 2 hours.  Spend time reading and applying this info and I know that it will have a significant impact on your game this year!
 

 
 
Hi Friends,
 

Learning Stages
 
Today, we want to show you the stages of learning a new skill. For illustrative purposes, we are going to use the backhand loop against backspin as an example for you today. This approach can be used for any stroke, such as pushing, flipping, looping, counter-looping, lobbing, chopping, smashing, and any other skill that you want to develop. Before beginning stage one, take a few minutes and assess your game for strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, and game patterns.

     Just like any other table tennis skills, developing a tactical mindset takes discipline.  As I work through the various styles over the coming weeks and teach you how to play against various opponents, I want you to understand that you too can think of your own tactics.  I’m not very smart, I’m just an average guy.  However, I do spend quality time thinking.  You too can develop this same discipline.
