Hi Abdelrahman,
In a match try to focus on playing your best rather than trying to win the match. You will get nervous in a big match but try to keep working at playing good Table Tennis.
When making powerful shots you may feel tight especially in the shoulder area. Focus on what is happening physically there and see if you can keep that area relaxed.

Recognise Your Feelings
The first step into the world of sports psychology is to recognise your feelings when you are playing well and when you are playing poorly. This video talks about some of those feelings and asks you to think about different matches you have played and how you felt during those matches. In future videos on the subject we will use this information to help you reach your potential.
