Hey,
I am wondering if it's just in my city or a general "problem" in table tennis.
In my club everyone just changes clothes, then plays forehand to forehand, backhand to backhand for 5 mins and then they play matches. After each match they usually switch partners and then maybe play doubles in the end. That's it.
No one does a real warmup like running. No one wants to play multiball or something like that. I am super annoyed by that. I haven't played for a longer time due to a knee injury and I don't know how to come back by just playing matches. I am much worse than I was a few months ago but no one wants to really practice, they just want to play. I checked another club, there it's the same basically.
It seems like table tennis is the only sports where many people do not practice at all, they just play. Imagine that for a football team, this would never happen there! Why is that in table tennis? Am I just unlucky with my club or is that a mentality problem?
