when you loose, should we say you are an idiot for not hiring a coach?
and copy your phase, "idiots don't deserve to win"
I don't know why you always go repeat this. Are you so insecure about your own life that you always need to bring this up?
I'm not trying to be a pro. I don't ever expect to compete in tournaments. I'm just playing for fun with local friends. I really don't even play much these days. Just 1 or 2 days a week with local friends.
I agree that one would be an idiot to attempt to be a pro without a coach. You can't be elite player without thousands of hours of coaching and systematic training.
But that's not what I'm aiming for. The reason I don't get a coach is because it is a low priority for me. There are literally hundreds of things I would rather spend money on that "table tennis coaching". That's not to say coaching is bad. If you're priority is coaching, then you should go for it. For me, there are simply other things I would rather get.
