Good day everyone,
Questions :
Where do i start in teaching a complete beginner the sport of Table Tennis?
How can i maintain the motivation and Interest of my students (Adult and Children)?
Focus and Teach one skill at a time or Multitask (Teach 2 skills at a time)?
(What I've been doing so far)
Sometimes there are students that tests our patience in teaching. Ex: A student who takes too long to learn one skill can sometimes make me feel irritated. "I Know it is not my students fault but my Own". How can i surpass my frustration?
When is it a Good time to Introduce: Short Pimple, Medium Pimple, Long Pimple, and Antispin? Is it when they have mastered the Four Basic strokes: Forehand Drive, Backhand Drive, Forehand Push, and Back hand Push?
Who determines the style of play for the student: The Coach or the Player?(I Have seen many cases where one Coach gets to say and a time where the player has the say)
When can a Complete beginner start to think about his own particular style of play? Should i instruct my student to learn the 4 basic strokes first before heading in to becoming a : Chopper, Attacker, Pips player, etc etc? or Should i show him videos of different styles and start from there?
Best Regards,

- Repeating one skill for a long time can diminish the excitement and enthusiasm of the student. It is like food, try it again and again for a longtime brings boredom. Possible solution would be breaking down that one skill; after breaking it down, focus on it one by one and connect everything afterwards.
- Multitasking gives students the "Feeling" of being more productive. and because of multitasking, you can change in between 2 skills so that it wont be too boring and too repetitive.
- Any more benefits to both: 1 skill at a time and Multitasking?
(What I've been doing so far)
- Auditory Stimulus : Explanation of the stroke
- Visual Stimulus: Perform and demonstrate, Youtube Videos
- Kinesthetics: Shadow Training, Multiball
