It Ain’t Piano
By Samson Dubina
If you ever took piano lessons, you probably know that there is a very systematic approach for beginners. Often there is a 30 or 60 min lesson each week. The student is given a couple songs to perfect during the week. When he/she goes for the lesson the following week, they will likely get those songs checked off and given new songs to play the following week.

Recognition
In table tennis, recognition is very important... regardless if you are a beginner 7-year-old, senior citizen trying to make progress, or Olympic gold medalist.

Advice to Coaches
Each year, I write one article directed to coaches. For my 2018 article, I’m only going to give one piece of advice. But before I give it, I’m going to build some context.
