You can’t teach old dogs new tricks. Is it true?
Well, I have found that teaching adults new skills isn’t too difficult. The difficulty comes in changing an old habit. Changing an awkward grip, changing a stroke, or changing a footwork movement takes time and persistence from both the coach and player. On the flip side, a new serve or a new serve return technique or a new looping variation can be learned fairly quickly for these same players.

Last week at the local table tennis club, there were about 10 players rated 1800 and 1 player rated 2100 who was a controlled looper. I asked the 2100-rated player what he could possibly do to improve to the next level… After a bit of discussion, we agreed that he needed to learn to play more aggressively and develop his power shots.
