Singapore Table Tennis players does not have the deception to play the players in Chinese in terms of 5 areas, and these 5 areas also applies to many other sports...(view of ex-singapore national players for the reflex portion, they did not make it due to LACK of local support from authorities at the past...)
1) soft and hard, fast and accurate reflexes, without that the mechanisms to WIN is IMPOSSIBLE!!!
how to train? - imagine you use ball serving machines to train players using 300 balls at one go, it is good for consistent pace for players to get USED it...
HOWEVER, better to use most of the times trainers / coaches to serve few hundreds / THOUSANDs of balls at one go to train BEST REFLEXES AS MACHINES got limitation... example, within 100 balls, the best players can go in at least 80-90 balls
YES!! BASICS are important like footwork, handwork, strikes BUT REFLEXES MUCH more important...
2) strategies - sun tzu bing fa is important, so are other strategies!!
--- deception, strike at less likely areas, l
--- look at one area and strike at another !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Change strategies and direction
--- serving different strokes, sometimes simple, sometimes sophiscated
--- in some games, rally with them to DEPLETE their energy
--- smile even when we are weak..
3) mental strength - HAVE the mentality of CAN!! ALL IS CAN. ALL is FAIR!! No underdogs or favourite, be balanced!!! FEEL the BALLSSS like a human being, FEEL the table like a human being.
4) Do more good deeds to charity, your LUCK will improve
5) Support of authorities, in order for each sport to grow like for example soccer to reach world cups, a body needs to pump in 50 - 100 million to groom at least 50-100 local players to play in EPL(english premier league) and other major leagues...., likewise for other sports...
6) please support local players...
PLEASE forward this MESSAGE to inform other singaporeans... Ahmitaba buddha
