Training

Hi coach, I am a social player trying to get serious into tt. I am fortunate to have a few tt clubs around my house, which together have lots of training sessions and competitions. I am able to play about 2-3 sessions (2 hours per session) per week. In your opinion, what is the right balance between training and competition?

e.g. 70% training 30% competition, 50% training 50% competition

Hi Esi,

The percentages will depend on what stage of development you are at.  If you are really close to playing a big competition, then you should increase the amount of games that you play.  If you are trying to develop your skills then focus more on training.

The push is an important part of Table Tennis. It is a defensive stroke which you use to make it hard for your opponent to attack. This week we give you a number of pushing drills and even incorporate some pushing games into the session for a bit of fun. We continue to work on your serve and in this session we concentrate on your placement.
