How to win a table tennis match easily at district level
Mental Preparation
Shubhanshu Saxena Asked 12 years ago
Sir, I have played 3 district level tournaments but before I play the match I lose my confidence and I cannot play any strokes and I lose the match. So what can I do for this problem

Hi Shubhanshu,
This is something that happens to a lot of players so don't worry about it. The more you play tournaments the better you will get at this. When you feel yourself start to feel nervous, take a deep breath and focus on slowing down and calming down. You can then think about the tactic you need for the next point There is no need to think further ahead than this.
During the match, think about playing well rather than about the result.

Even I used to do this ,but when I started playing state tournaments also automatically I started to win . But how?
Well done. Perhaps you were a good level because of the training you had done and able to beat these players.
