Hi Alois/Jeff, Earlier this morning, I was quite surprised while getting the news that I and my friend is going to represent my school to compete in a tournament, both singles and doubles section. Due to no experience in a real competition, I really need some help for practicing, both playing and mental toughness with my partner. Can you help me?

Hi Viet,

Firstly, well done on gaining selection.  

You can set up some training sessions for yourselves.  You can use the Free Downloads and get the Training Plan (Word).  This will give you a template that you can work with and set out your sessions.  You can also use the Training Drills download to get some ideas on things you can practice.

When you are doing the drills, get your partner to block for you for 7 to 10 minutes while you practice your drill and then change over.  You can keep changing each 7 to 10 minutes and do as many of these as you can in your training time.

For our Premium members we have a series of 52 weeks training already set out in our 52 Week Training Plan.

This is the training plan where we focus on match strategy. Most people want to rush into details on how to beat certain styles of player but before you can do that you need to work out a couple of things. Firstly what are your strengths? What are your opponents weaknesses? These are critical to formulating a plan. This week we are going to focus on your strengths and next week we'll tackle your opponents weaknesses.
