Many table tennis athletes begin the season with refining their basic technique and working on developing a solid base for footwork and consistency with many systematic drills.  As they get closer to their peak tournament, they then begin a more tactical approach.  When they know which exact opponents they will compete against, then they begin specific tactical preparation for that exact opponent. 
 
This is good, but I’m going to propose a slightly different approach for you…

Hi Table Tennis Friends!

 
Hi Friends,

 
 
 
 
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
 

Hi Students,

I have been very impressed with the improvements that I have seen lately. We now have a total of 90 players who are taking private lessons and/or group training! I have updated all of the calendars with the April private lessons. If you are on a daily training program, then check your personal calendar. If you don't have a personal calendar, check the master calendars for the April schedule with Coach Jeff, Coach Chance, and myself: https://www.samsondubina.com/online-calendar

Hi Friends,

Congrats to 14-year-old Andrew Cao for having a breakthrough tournament this past weekend winning both the u14 event and the u2450 event!  He also had fabulous results in the u2500 making the quarterfinals and nearly upsetting Ojo Onaolapo (2602) in the open singles with a near 3-2 match.  Keep up the good work!
