Kejohanan Ping Pong SRTTC 2011 at UPM (30 April to 1 may 2011) - Report and Photos

Team event (2 Singles and 1 Double)

4 teams from KPPj8 participating in the tournament. Team P8A was presented by Azam, Hamir, Megat and Shahrul, Team P8B by Ezad, Hazrizad, Nafixiom and Razli, Team P8C by Aiman, Azamuddin, Azroul and Norhisam while Team P8D by Aidi, Hairi, Ishak, Marzuki and Noor Amin. Team P8A was drawn in Group D, P8B in Group E, P8C in Group A and P8D in Group C. Tournament kick off around 9.00am at Dewan Serbaguna, Pusat Sukan UPM.

In Group A, only 3 teams turn up. First match for P8C is against TDM B. Aiman played as first single and opened his account with 0-3 lost. Azamuddin and Norhisam were paired for the first time in double, but expected to level the score to have any change for second single to play for. Perhaps lack of chemistry and consistency cause them to surrender their game by 1-3 score.

Thoughts On Training

Table tennis is a fast reaction sport similar to the martial arts or boxing — you train by repetition day in and day out until a reaction becomes automatic, until you don’t need to think about it anymore. It is when the body does things on autopilot effectively. When you start to think about the strokes and especially about technique, you introduce problems, the thinking part of the mind interferes with the subconscious execution of the shot or serve and performance is affected. For a start the automatic reaction is much faster, you only slow things down by introducing the conscious, thinking process. This is why with players who have trained for many years and whose habits are firmly ingrained, you can often only change small aspects. You can only restructure the player’s technique by destroying his/her game and starting again.
