If you do the things you always do, you'll get the results you've always gotten. That's a bit of folk wisdom that directly applies to us table tennis players. Far too many players are guilty of going through the same old motions when it comes to training, and the results are only too painfully obvious - a plateau in their game.
To get different (and better!) results, you have to be willing to do something new - such as performing mental training. This important area of ping-pong practice gets overlooked by many players. But with just a little bit of mental effort, you could give your most important table tennis muscle a real workout - your brain! And while I've still got a long, long way to go before I'd consider myself a mental guru, I've got some tips that can help you get started along the road to mental mastery of your table tennis game. |
