I had posted something similar probably close to a year ago at this point and felt like I saw no changes either, good to know I'm not imagining it.

Brush less. You pretty much only brush, which is why you struggle with recovery and consistency against blocks and countertopspins.

At this point, there seems to be an honesty problem. Stories of your coach beating players he hadn't beaten at the time you claimed he had. Stories of multiple of your coaches playing in leagues they haven't. Stories of your coach being 2700 at his peak despite never being over 2450 USATT...

Not what I'm asking...why are you writing a letter to your own parents?

You don't hide the ball to decide who serves before starting matches? Or start recording your video?

Why are your school teachers and principals writing a letter to your own parents? How much do you expect for your GoFundMe to raise? How much do you think training costs to achieve your goal will be?

His time as a pro will likely not go past 2028 Olympic Trials, and he is a super talent that was 2300+ by KTTs current age who had a lot of resources and things going in his favor such as an elite level brother to learn from. Perspective.

Obviously. But KTT has been told how unrealistic his final goal is given where he is right now and the commitment he is putting in, so we are dialing things back to goals that are still unrealistic but slightly more possible.

Worth noting that Max from NJ had a big rating drop but was playing closer to a 2400 level when he qualified. And now Andrew H at 2400 is in the mix. Also this is one of the weaker U15 teams in recent history and whatever the team is now is not what it will be in 3 years when KTT is 15. I...

You really don't know what you are talking about. You frequently seem to present a lot of completely false information and I wonder where it is coming from? "The junior team" refers to the top 3-4 players after all the National Ranking tournaments, who get to then represent the USA...

1800 to 2300 in 1.5 years is possible but extremely extremely difficult. Pretty much impossible if you aren't training with top coaches at top clubs. Even if you hit 2300 by age 14, you will still be too low level to qualify for the USA U15 boys team. And definitely too low for the Germany U15...

He did seem to say he wants to play for Germany's junior team if he gets good enough lol Really makes no sense when even making the USA junior team, much less adult team, at this point is a very very long shot

He still doesn't seem to know exactly what he wants besides for to be an elite table tennis player. As for being realistic, still not there yet either...

So then why do you need German citizenship?

Who are the lot?

I am confused, if your goal is to get international experience and world ranked, why you would choose to try to compete for a more competitive country (Germany) rather than a less competitive one (USA) where you'd have an easier chance getting international tournament opportunities. Why?

Yes I am sure Li Yongyin is somewhere around 2750. I've explained already in other threads that world ranking is meaningless in many cases, and this is something you should be familiar with by now. It's the same reason you mentioned you had almost beat a world ranked player from South America...

Full time if you want even a slim chance of making it.

That will not be the hardest part, the hardest part will be going from 1800 to 2600+ in the next 3 years...we have discussed this before...

BL1 = 2750+ USATT most 2800+ unless you end up at the end of the bench for a bad team but even in those cases you still need to be very good BL2 = 2650+ USATT at a minimum but many players much better than this BL3 = very wide range here, but some players as good as 2750 and some as low as 2600...
