-New Coaching Article by Samson Dubina
 
 
 
The way you manage pressure has a huge impact on your performance.  About 90% of coaches don’t rightly understand this important concept.  This article isn’t designed to offend average coaches, but rather to educate both coaches and players as to what it means to be mentally strong.

Style/Equipment Change
 
 
Changing your playing style or grip or equipment takes both effort and time.  You don’t want to change from penhold to shakehands and play a tournament the next week.  You don’t want to change from being a long-pips chopper to being a two-wing looper if you are playing league matches twice a week and tournaments monthly. 
 
However, now is the ideal time to change!
 

 
 
 
 
You have hundreds of different table tennis rubbers to choose from. Which should you choose? I recently chose Factive for my daughters, Fiona age 7 and Kenzie age 5. Why did I choose Factive, because it has thin sponge and good control while maintaining a decent amount of speed and spin. Since switching to Factive, they are playing significantly better.
