Playing without a serious partner

Haris Ansari Asked 12 years ago

Hi Coach!

I have a problem with my partner. HE DOES NOT PRACTICE SERIOUS ! he is also not interested in warm up and only want to play matches. He is decreasing my game level. so, how can I play without a serious partner ?

Hi Haris,

You can not force him to train properly.  You need to either use what he is doing more effectively or try to find a different partner.

Use the games practice to train things you want to practice.  This is not ideal but it may be the best option.  You can talk to him about the benefits of training properly and try to show him a better way.
