Fear of forgetting
Training
Indrani Mukherjee Asked 11 years ago
Hi coach,
I am going out for 45 days to my hometown. I have had previous experience that whenever i stop playing the game of table tennis for some time i forget each and every stroke and get defeated with some of the opponents whom i used to defeat in 1,11 or 2,11.
I am feeling very bad for this. Can you suggest some ways in which i can keep relation with the game if i have only the bat and ball and no table or opponent.
Another thing is how to play with the wall ?
Your help is needed.

Hi Chandrachur,
Firstly your body doesn't forget that easily. It is a matter of just allowing yourself to play and adjust to the short time away.
Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone. This will give you some good ideas.

hi,
Yes i also know that i will able to be in the stage where I was but till that time all others will practice and become better than what I am now.
You just need to do the best you can. Work as well as you can. There is no specific distance from the wall. Try to get it at a similar distance as a Table Tennis Table.
