Hi guys, 

I am playing in an important tournament in three days. I feel prepared and confident in my skills for the most part.  Besides just resting, hydrating, and eating, how would you recommend I spend my time practicing? What should I do to get sharp for the tournament? Thanks.

Hi Anthony,

Practice as much as you feel like practicing.  Focus on game play and the first few shots in the rally. Serving, return of serve and 3rd ball drills.

Good luck in the tournament.  Let us know how it all goes.

Anthony, keep playing matches till you get tired.You can shoot a video of your match and try to clear your errors. Video shooting will help you improve your game.Tell me your result by commenting back. Tell how much did the video help you.

Best of Luck!

Thanks guys, 

In the two events I played, I won one event and was runner up in the other. I filmed a couple games so that I could watch in between to analyze strategy which helped. The coaching combined with helpful advice from this website was a big part in me being successful.
