Improving in a short period
Training
Wayne Sy Asked 13 years ago
Hi there coach, I would like to ask about my improvement. I have about less than two months left before the varsity try outs and I wanted to top the ranking. That is the reason why I am working hard this time. Recently, I have been Playing in a club for Almost everyday, and each day I give 6 to 7 hours playing. But half of those time, I have been playing very badly and I am wondering if it's because I have played "too much" which could have made me exhausted.
if that is the case, would it be better if I play at least 2 to 3 times a week in the club and have drillings and shadowing during the remaining days of the week? or would I improve faster if I play in the club 7 hours a day for the rest of the remaining time even if I am playing in a bad shape with "out of tuned" strokes sometimes? Or what is the fastest way to improve my game?

Hi Wayne,
It is important that the time on the table is quality. If you are spending 6 hours on the table just hitting around it will have limited benefit.
It is better to do less hours with good concentrated practice, doing drills and structuring your session well. I think doing drills is the best way with a mixture of some free play as well.

In the first week of your preparation we focused on the consistency of your third ball attack. This week, since the third ball is so important, we are going to continue working on this. However this week we are going to focus on placement. It is really important tactically to think about where you are going to play the ball. We build upon the drills from last week so you can improve the effectiveness of your third ball through placement.
