Hi PingSkills,

If I had the incentives and financial backing to hire a coach/training partner from say China, would this be an viable task?

I would pay/supply for all flights, fees, accomodation and food and of course for the service of training. I would also be able to get them work for periods of the day where they are not training. 

It would almost be like how countries hire former high level table tennis players to be their national coach, only the level does not need to be as high...i.e. does not need to be a current/former national player/coach.

Would this be possible?

Hi Bryce,

Interesting idea.  I don;t have any contacts and it wold be really important that you got the right person that would be willing to work hard.  This is difficult without meeting someone.

Others may have ideas.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
