Hey,
I train once a week, for one hour with Brian Berry and play 2 pennants. So basically my question is, whether or not i will be able to become better in a fast time. I started only a year ago and i am beginning to think that i may have started late which will take me longer to become better.

Hi D.T.
I started playing Table Tennis at a club when I was 12 years old which a lot of people consider starting late. I don't think that age is a problem when trying to improve. It really comes down to practice and competition.
The main thing is to play as much as possible on a consistent basis ensuring you still enjoy the challenge of improving.
Have a read of a blog Alois wrote recently called Trainings' Critical Factors. It discusses how you need a focus for your training sessions, how consistency is important and how much training you should do.
