Pre-Competition preparation
Training
Kabeer Sayed Asked 7 years ago
Hi, Alois.
I have been learning a lot from Pingskills and after half a year of playing for my club, I am preparing to compete in the London Youth Games. Do you have any suggestions for preparing myself? Thanks you.

Hi Kabeer,
Well done on taking the step of playing in a tournament.
The main thing is to go in there with an attitude of learning as much as you can. Work at playing your best on the day. In preparation, think about playing a lot of matches and tailoring your training towards more random situations where you don't know where the ball is coming.
We do have the 52 Week Training Plan where the last 8 weeks are focused on training in preparation for a tournament.

Initially when you are learning a new serve you can just get a bucket of balls and serve over and over again. But at some stage you need to practice your serve exactly as you would play in a match. In this session we focus on this. It's important that you try to make this practice as close to a real match as you can so that when you are in the real thing, you feel comfortable.
