Becoming a professional player

mohammad reza Asked 9 years ago

What should I do to became a professional player without playing in a club and what should I do to play correctly ? Can I just use your site and your lessons to became a professional player?

Where should I begin from? Can you teach me every day?

I don't have a partner to play with me.

Hi Mohammad,

It is important that you find a club or group to play with. It is really difficult to reach a higher level if you are not competing with others.

Train as much as you can with your partner and watch the lessons that we provide as well.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.

Hey Mohammad,

You need to listen to what Alois has to say. Find a club that you can go to. You can watch videos all day long but without someone to practice with partner. You will only be a beginner/ intermittent player at best. Yeah, you can learn from videos but will never know how to react when you receive a counterhit.

I don't know where you live but I would think there are some clubs around where you live? I also don't think it would be a good idea for you to try and have Alois being your coach. He can only give you tips on how you are playing with videos you would have to send him. Do you have the ability to do that?
