Training

Hi coach,

 After I get the well-developed skills for pingpong, I feel little boring. Every time, we practice like a machine, forehand topspin to forehand topspin, backhand topspin to backhand topspin, from single point to random point, attack after service and receiving service practice, then games...etc!

So, what is your suggestion(planning) to avoid boring?

Hi Jeffery,

Play more games if you are getting bored.  I think though that you need to realise that the 'boring practice' or repetitive training is crucial for long term development.

Try doing a different set of drills.  Find some new drills that you haven't done before.  YOu can see a full set of them in our free download that is available on our site.  Take a look at our handout on Training Drills.
