What are you Practicing?

by Samson Dubina on Mon, 2014-09-29 22:48
Learn why you should play more tournaments!

 
 
What is your ultimate goal in table tennis? 
To make the Olympic Team?
To become the club champion?
To someday break 2000?
To improve your fitness?
To beat your great-uncle Bob?
Most players’ goals involve some type of tournament performance.  As a coach, I must know the goals that my students have and help to guide them in the right direction to meet their goals. 
 
If someone wants to have a good serve, what should they do?  Hmmm…. Maybe practice their serves.

The Unknown God

by Samson Dubina on Mon, 2014-09-29 22:35
Who is your god?

 
 
Everyone has a god.  This god can be the true God or it can be something else that we put in the place of god – table tennis, work, family, money, girlfriend, hobbies, etc…  In our Bible passage, the apostle Paul was in the city of Athens.  This city had many idols.  Paul saw one idol that was titled – To the Unknown God.  He explained to the Athenians about the one and only and true God and what they must do to have a true relationship with God.

Beat the Tall Dude

by Samson Dubina on Tue, 2014-09-16 06:35
Learn the details of killing giants

 
 
 
 
Playing against a very tall player might seem scary, but if you implement the right strategies, you can do it. First, I'm going to outline what he probably does well. Next, I'm going to outline your game-plan.
 
Keep in mind that very tall players have a wide wingspan. With a little leaning and reaching, he can often cover about 7 feet without taking any steps at all. Very tall players usually smash well and can power through most lobs.

Bible Passage of the Week

by Samson Dubina on Mon, 2014-09-15 10:49
What shall we do?

 
 
Acts 2:36-39 Peter said, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
