Hi Ashwin,

The main thing I find is that players get too focused on the result.  There is a place for that of course, but you need to also make sure you are focused on playing well.  This focus on playing good Table Tennis will mean you are more likely to improve your level and play closer to your potential.

Also take a look at other Ask the Coach questions in the Mental Preparation category.  There may be a few more isights there for you.

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.
