Hi Kamil,

I once asked an experienced player the same question a long time ago.  Her reply was, why not do the same amount.  If you have a plan and are working to a long term goal, there will always be ups and downs in your level.  If you adjusted every time to these fluctuations you would be changing your program every day.

You need to keep the end goal in mind and just keep working hard.

Beating Defenders

Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
