Congrats to Ed Ivory for being the December Player of the Month! In the last 30 days he had nearly perfect attendance and played over 100 matches. We love his enthusiasm to play with anyone and everyone that walks through the door. He is willing to play with the youngest member as well as the most experienced member.
I recently gave one of my online students an assignment to write down a listing of ways he can improve his mental game during a training session. Many players think that tournament play is when they become "tournament tough" but this student is learning that some of the foundational principles and routines can (and should) be applied to practice sessions as well!!!
Hi Coach Samson,
Here are some things I came up with for “becoming mentally tough during practice”:
“You need to attack his middle.”
“I recommend that you play 80% of your hits to his transition point.”
“Hunt the elbow – play the elbow – your opponent gets jammed easily!”
The Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy is still open. Is it safe? Will there be an outbreak of the virus? Will we continue to be open? Will you still be having tournaments? Yes, my friends, there are many questions being submitted from my followers worldwide. Today, I would like to answer 6 of the common questions...
One of the best Christmas gifts anyone can get is an official team shirt of the Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy. These high quality Nittaku shirts are available in dark blue, pink, and light blue.
