I want opinions on my chances of pro

I think you need for level up training with player better than you.

 

[KTableTennis]

Any progress this summer?

Yes a lot. Not in rating but in level I have progressed to around 1900

My Saturday training partner is 2100

How do you reach this conclusion?

@KTableTennis On August 2 you said that your coach beat the #1 15 year old. The dates of the tournament your coach beat the #1 15 year old was August 23-24.

So when you said on August 2 that your coach beat the #1 15 year old did you predict the results of a match that was going to happen 3 weeks into the future? Or is there some other explanation?

Any answer?

I didn't read through everything here. Maybe someone has already mentioned this. If you are comfortable, please take videos of your training and tournaments and post them online. I am interested in seeing your progress. This will be an exciting journey.

Around how many hours a week is this girl training and from that total time how long does she do exercises without a racket in her hand?

Around how many hours a week is this girl training and

she trains 6 days a week
during school time, it is between 20-30 hours min a week.
during summer vocation, it was about 35-40 hours a week.

from that total time how long does she do exercises without a racket in her hand?

physicals is around 3 to 5 hours a week.

French U9 no1 player was training at her school during the just ended summer vocation.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update on how my training has been going lately.

Right now I’ve been focusing a lot on improving my consistency, footwork, and overall attacking game. I’ve been spending a lot of time working on drills, serve practice, and playing matches against stronger players whenever I can.


I’m also trying to be more disciplined with my training and really focus on improving the small details like timing, movement, and shot quality. as some of you might already know, my goal is to eventually break into the top 100 in the world and play in the bundusliga division 1

The main goal right now is just to keep improving step by step and continue pushing my level higher.

I have also upgraded my training schedule, I am now training at my club 6 days a week with one weekly league, and each training session on the week days are around 3 hours and on the weekends on saturday and sunday they are around 5-6 hours per day of serious training.

Looking forward to seeing how things develop over the next months. thank you all for the suport

as of now one of my goals is to start online school once I get to highschool, this is mostly because as I get older I will deffinently need to be training more if I want to reach my goal, one obstical though is my parents questioning this idea, I need to convince them to let me switch 🤣 I am looking foreward to my next two tournaments which are next weekend and the weekend after that, my main goal for this month with the tournaments is to reach 2000 usatt, I think I am deffinently at that level right now and I have not played a tournament in a few months and I am now consistantly not losing to anyone below 2150 usatt, I am very confident that I can reach this goal and my main goal for this month is to not lose to anyone below 2100 usatt in the tournaments. I am striving to win the u2000 again and the u2200. and if anyone is wondering my current rating right now is 1915 from the early january tourney

Any reason you haven't entered the USATT junior national ranking tournaments? It's important to start facing top competition within your age group as well, not only in Open settings.

I agree you need to change so you can practice more before/during school hours. I do not know how the coaching is in the USA, but would really need a coach with experience from pro level that know what it takes. I have been coaching part time for lika 15 years, also played a lot myself and practiced maybe 9 times during monday-friday. I would say almost everyone think they are doing enough. I would say the coaching route is probably a better career route for most of us if we want to work with tabletennis.

Good luck and keep up the hard work

Its a bould move. I think i agree with your parents. At least when you have not proven anything yet (I am not familiar with the system in USA). I think when you start to play table tennis at the age of 9 or later it should be impossible to reach the top. I wish you the best of luck. Just be sure to do good at school. You seem like a smart kid, so you can make it. Its also hard to tell a young man not to follow his dream. There is a lot of sacrifaces on the road ahead.

Education is everything. It's a lot safer in the long term for your future. You can still attempt to be a pro while going to school, I'll use Ved Sheth and Sid Naresh as examples, although they are both the top top players of the US while the former isn't even competing much in WTT anyways, and Sid is still not close to being a Top 50-75 star yet

Starting at 9 years old is harder to reach pro but not impossible.
