Training and Drills
Hi PingSkills my friends want to learn table tennis and they told me to be their coach. The problem is, how to be a good coach ? As all of them have the same age with me. This make them can't learn the stroke seriously as they feel that I'm their friend, not their coach. So, how to be a good coach even they are my friends and have the same age with me and the most important thing is that they want learn and practice seriously. What should I do ? Please for the advice. Thank you very much
Hi Frendy,
The most important thing about a coach I think is to have a genuine interest in helping the player. Everything else just flows from there.
Keep things simple with your instruction. Good luck coach.

Everyone is different. I think patience is the key. Keep giving him enough experiences and reminders and it will start to happen correctly. Try expressing your thoughts in slightly different ways.

Give them a number of hits that they should aim to reach, or have a competition to see which player can get the most hits in a row.
