Hi Francisco,

I think if you look at them as sacrifices then you may be missing the point.  If you want to achieve a goal then there are things that you need to do to achieve those.  If you want to become a professional player then you need to train regularly and with great focus.

I tried to train well as much as I could when I was playing.  At the peak of my training I trained 6 hours a day, 6 days a week.  That was when we were being coached by Mr Zhou a former Chinese National player.  It was hard work at the time, but also very rewarding.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
