Winning Table Tennis
NEW Coaching Article

A missing key in table tennis is a proper understanding of between-game analysis and between-point analysis. In this article, I’m going to mention the three keys – understanding the problem, finding a solution, and encouraging yourself with the benefit of implementing the solution.

“It was a bad match.”
“I was just off.”
“I didn’t practice enough.”
“My opponent was on fire.”
