Hi Pingskills! I found that when I'm doing backhand block practice with my coach, I lost my concentration after a number of strokes produced. How can I overcome that?

Hi Xariuz,

This is something that you can work on over time.

Each time you practice try to focus on the rally for a little longer.  Concentration is something that you can practice.

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.
