Typically, playing about 60-65% forehand and about 35-40% backhand will allow you to cover the table best. However, for some of my students, I give some flexibility as each player/style/age/conditioning/body type is unique. Because the forehand zone is larger, most players practice forehand footwork or full-table footwork. I have rarely seen players practicing backhand footwork.
Today, USATT gave me my certification as a National Coach.
Moving forward, what are my goals?
1. Perspective
Keep everything in perspective, giving God the glory for it all in word and deed. Colossians 3:17 says… And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
I would like to encourage you to participate in the Hawkeye Open. Come to Iowa August 18-20 and participate in the clinic as well as play in the 2-day tournament. This event features wood floor, high ceiling, featured courts, it is worth the drive!!!
You!
You as the athlete, YOU must be the expert!
But, but, but.. I thought the coach was supposed to be the expert?
No, the coach WILL BECOME the expert, but you must first be the expert!
Let me explain…
Bible Verse of the Week
By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:13-15
