Regain motivation

naveed ahmed Asked 12 years ago

Hello coaches,

How to regain motivation and get back in form after a gap of say 2 months?

Hi Naveed,

The main thing is that you need to get back to hitting regularly and enjoying the game. Then the motivation will come.

Beating Defenders

Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.

Frendy Halim:

I can understand u as I too have gone through such a situation, this is how I tackle it:

1. I tell myself that I am playing this game because I enjoy it, so just play ur best and enjoy ur time at the table.

2. I realize that I have a passion for Table Tennis and I am dedicated to the master the game. So I am just competing with myself to get better and better with each game. I look at my negatives as learning opportunities. Be a good student.

3. u play each ball according to its merit. If it deserves to be attacked, attack, if u feel u will have an advantage if u push or do a tricky placement, do it. If u are not consistent with attacking shots, just practice them a lot. Practice makes a man perfect!
