Hi Ahmed,

The first thing is to develop your strokes. Start with the forehand and backhand counterhit and see how many you can get on in a row. Then you can move onto the forehand and backhand push. Again try to improve your consistency by seeing how many shots you cam make without an error.

As for your training, it is good to structure your sessions. I recommend using this Training Plan (PDF) template. We also have a Training Drills document that lists a lot of useful exercises that you can use in your training.

For our premium members we have a whole course called Training Secrets.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
