Hey UpSideDownCarl: Sorry for the delay. We had an exciting weekend with a lot of great impressions. I will write about it later in this post.
I'm happy that you and other people like our approach of showing "real" players training. It's important information for us, that not everybody is only interested in Ma Long's training.
I think it will be nice to see the players' improvement in some years. I'm looking forward to making a video in some years about the development of the skills of our players.
I'm also very happy that you are pleased with the level of our players and coaches and the quality of our videos. We make efforts to provide satisfactory quality. We try to provide varied training for our players and give some inspiration and motivation via social media for other players and coaches. We'd like to provide more videos. But table tennis and our video project is just a hobby beside the real job.
What do you mean exactly regarding the cross step video? I don't understand completely. From today's view the cross step video is not optimal. More dynamic and body rotation would be good.
At the weekend we were at Grenzau at the match TTC Grenzau vs. Borussia Düsseldorf (first league match in Germany). In the break after two matches I received the award "basis trainer of the year 2016" by Butterfly Germany. This award is not for professional trainers, but for coaches, who work at the basis of table tennis for example with kids. Our video project "3T Table Tennis Training" and the use of social media for our favourite sport was decisive for the first place in this award. As I started playing table tennis only in the year 2008, this award is a great pleasure for me.
