Choosing a Coach
4 Factors to Consider
 
 
Some cities in the US have only one table tennis coach.  In other areas like LA or NYC, there might be 20 coaches within a 20-mile radius.  So which coach should you choose?  The cheapest? The funniest?  The highest rated?  Well, the choice is yours, but here are 4 factors to consider

US National Team Coach
 
Thanks USATT for selecting me as part of the US National Team development group. I’m excited to coach and also excited that the Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy can host many upcoming events like the US National Hopes, Continental Hopes, and many other major events in the coming months and years!

We Welcome Chance Friend

Chance Friend
 
Why is he developing into one of the best US coaches?  It isn’t his rating, it isn’t his US ranking, it isn’t his forehand or backhand or footwork.  It is his mind.
 
See, most top players began playing at 7 or 8 years old and the skills were developed at a young age from repetition again and again during structured training programs.  Not for Chance Friend.  He had to work through many things on his own learning skills throughout his teen years and he learned to watch pros, think for himself, and try to develop his own game.
