Training
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.
In this session we talk about placement and finding the best position to hit the ball to. In all the drills you need to try and place the ball in varying spots and take note of where it is hardest for your opponent.

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.
