I have a school tournament that's coming up in 3 weeks time. Any suggestions on how to prepare for it or with any other tournament?

Hi Jasper,

The main thing is to transition to more relevant training for matches such as more serve and serve return.  You can move away from regular drills and do more drills with random play and decision making.

These elements will allow you to get used to what is happening in a match situation.

By visualising yourself playing Table Tennis, you can improve your skills without having to actually hit a ball. Of course you still need to practice actually playing the game but this can help you perfect your technique. Watch the master class for some ideas on how to do this.

On match day, is it recommended to visualise the positive situations and negative situations of the match of a particular opponent?

It is good to think about your strategy including some ideas of what your opponent will be trying to do.
