Dear Coach,
I got a table tennis board today. I've been looking through the videos and had trouble deciding which one to learn first. This my first time playing table tennis. So I've decided to ask you.

Hi Abby,
I think the best place to start is the Strokes & Technique page. Work your way down the page and see what you are competent at. Having good basic strokes is really important.

It's important to take the initiative in a rally. My old coach used to call this forcing the pace. To get better at forcing the pace, we are going to consciously go for more power on our third ball shots. We may miss a few more balls but that is part of our development.
