Match tactics – group coaching day

During this group coaching day, I will teach you how to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents and use tactical thinking to win more points. Having a strong tactical brain can make a huge impact. If you have two players of a similar ability level, it will be the player with good tactics who will win 9 times out of 10. With an improved tactical approach to table tennis you will start beating players you have never beaten before.
