Is that significant?  Not to her.  You see, Sarah Jalli has her sights set much higher than a number on the USATT website.  Because of her dedication to improvement, her understanding that every win and loss is a learning experience, that every practice counts, and that it isn’t just about hitting a ball…   all of these factors combined make Sarah Jalli a great player.  There are 4 keys that I want to highlight for you…
 
Long-Term
Sarah thinks long-term.  She realizes that 2 hours with Samson today, might not guarantee winning this week at the Arnold.  She knows that the foundation and skills developing this week, will help her in the future, and she isn’t swayed with temporary highs and lows.
 
Quality Practice
She doesn’t buy into the idea that 10,000 hours of practice guarantees amazing results.  Instead of just thinking about the numbers, she thinks about the application.  As her dad regularly encourages her, “You need to implement better each session the things Samson is teaching you.”  It isn’t just a matter of going through the motions.  It is about consciously implementing it every session with full effort.
 
Well-Rounded
She knows that a tt athlete must be well-rounded.  She plays against all player of all level and styles to have a complete game.
 
Helping Others
She is willing to help others.  She has already volunteered to assist at the summer training camps for the beginners class so that she can share some of her skills with lower players.
 
The Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy would like to wish Sarah the best and we look forward to seeing how her hard work will pay off!!!
