They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I think that a video is worth a million words. Instead of writing an article this time about footwork, I thought that I would show you a very short demonstration of some essential footwork that you might be missing.
“You can’t return that serve!” “I’m sorry!” “You can’t!” “I don’t care if you pay me $1000 for this secret 1-hour lesson. You can’t consistently return that deep spinny sidespin serve with 10 variations because you don’t have real strokes. You are trying to chisel and block back those serves that are 2000 rpms, and it isn’t going to happen.”
This is the conversation with many new students that I get on a daily basis.
Shockingly...
A recently online poll showed that 81% of table tennis players believe that TT is more mental than physical! However, these same players spend 99% of their time working on strokes, footwork, and spins and spend very little time training the mental side of the game. In the final 2 camps this summer, we will be focusing on the mental side of the game!

Sponsorship Secret
If table tennis is going to be a professional sport, then it needs to be heavily funded with sponsors. Everyone knows that. However, most of the top US players are just sitting back and waiting for a knock at the door.
