Hi Kongrit,

Thi sis very common.  It happens to everybody.

The most important part is to htink about playing good table tennis first before thinking too much about the result.  When we start to worry about the result, we will start to tense up and then not allow ourselves to play well.

Focus on the process rather than the result and you will find it easiier.
