Advice to Coaches
 
Each year, I write one article directed to coaches.  For my 2018 article, I’m only going to give one piece of advice.  But before I give it, I’m going to build some context. 
 
Most table tennis players believe that there are two types of coaches – type A and type B.  It is true, that 99% of the coaches that I personally have met fall roughly into one of these categories.  Today, I’m going to present type C.

How LOW Can You Serve?

How Low Can You Serve?

Most beginner/intermediate players think about isolated shots. Most professional players think about shot sequences. These two mindsets are poles apart. When serving, professionals know that setting up the sequence in their favor begins with a serve, maybe not an ace, but controlling the rally from the very first touch.
