Fine balance

Arnab Ghosh Asked 10 years ago

Hello,

Some coaches don't like their players fooling around and do a lot of experimenting while they are playing or practicing table tennis. So is it necessary to always practice hard with seriousness, determination or hard work, or, it wouldn't heart to have some fun in front of the table once in a while? What does Alois do if he sees such behavior from his players?

P.S. Here is a little video to cheer the PingSkillers up.

Regards
Arnab

Hi Arnab,

I think during structured drills training it is important to be disciplined.  However there is also other time during training that the players can utilise to experiment and get a feel for different strokes.  This is also important to learn the limitations of strokes and what is possible.

There was no link to a video here Arnab.
