Answer for My 9 year old, an aspiring Olympian from India

Hey Jogesh,

we’re glad we have helped with our videos and you are now here on the Academy as well! Fantastic to hear your son Nived is getting into table tennis so much! To me it seems you are doing all the right things and getting in a lot of time on the table as well as fitness. I would say for him to really spend time getting solid basics and a foundation to his game. So having strong basic shots and footwork will come with what you are doing. The next things to focus on are then the match play side of things are being able to adapt to different situations, so for this he will need to play different types of players and start to focus more on irregular drills.

What could be good is sending us in a short video of Nived doing some of his training drills so we can see him play and give feedback on technique and what areas he should focus on to help him improve!

Dan 🙂
