Training

Hi Alois/Jeff

Yesterday I was practising service for about 3-4 hrs with some breaks. Then I played a match with my grandpa. I couldn't even complete the match I was so tired and had muscle cramps. I was a bit fine before the match. But after the match I couldn't even walk properly. My parents said that you are playing too much. I don't quiet understand how much time should I spend on table tennis. Pls advice and thx

Hi Bhavesh,

I think the most important thing is that you are fresh and keen to learn. If you feel yourself getting tired and bored with the training, then it is probably time to take a rest. Feeling fatigued is part of training as long as you don't overdo it.

It is more about the freshness of the mind and willingness to learn.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
