Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your question. It is wonderful to hear that at 13 you are wanting to make improvements to your game.
I think the best way is to work your way through the Strokes Tutorials on the site. As you go through each of these you will start to gain confidence in your abilities.
There is no time line on each of these strokes. I want you to start to work on them a little quicker than you feel comfortable. As you start to feel comfortable challenge yourself a little more with speed, spin or placement on each of them.
Keep working on these strokes and let me know how you are progressing.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
