What to do when I can't play
Training
Wayne Sy Asked 14 years ago
Hi there coach, I want to ask something. You see sir, when I am not able to play table tennis for a long time then suddenly I went to the table and play, I don't feel like playing the same sport. I know that its because I was not able to play for a long time. Is there any way how I can retain the mood or feel when I am playing table tennis even if I am not able to play for a period of time? What quick exercises should I do within that period of time when I am not playing? thanks in advance..

Hi Wayne,
You can try some of the ideas that we have in our lesson on Practicing Alone.
You can also think about watching some videos of the best players and some of the lesson on our site. This will keep your mind on the game in those periods that you can't play.

Random drills are really important for your development as they are more game like. You need to be able to play your strokes well even when you don't know where the ball is going. We also continue to work on your new serve. This week we introduce a target into your service practice to help you gain even more control on your serve.
