Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
 

Hi Students,

I have been very impressed with the improvements that I have seen lately. We now have a total of 90 players who are taking private lessons and/or group training! I have updated all of the calendars with the April private lessons. If you are on a daily training program, then check your personal calendar. If you don't have a personal calendar, check the master calendars for the April schedule with Coach Jeff, Coach Chance, and myself: https://www.samsondubina.com/online-calendar

Hi Friends,

Congrats to 14-year-old Andrew Cao for having a breakthrough tournament this past weekend winning both the u14 event and the u2450 event!  He also had fabulous results in the u2500 making the quarterfinals and nearly upsetting Ojo Onaolapo (2602) in the open singles with a near 3-2 match.  Keep up the good work!

In this blog, I will be outlining five vital steps in a peaking for a tournament 30 days from now.
 
#1 Same Equipment
Every time you change equipment, it takes 2-3 weeks to fully adjust.  During those 2-3 week, your game will go down slightly.  Make sure that you keep using the same rubber, blade, glue, and shoes during those final 30 days before your big event.

Many people think that lobs are easy to deal with.  Actually, lobbers can be very difficult opponents.  I have several tips for you about how to play against lobbers…
 
#1 Be Serious
Before beginning any match, be serious and be focused on your strategy.  Don’t start off the match against a lobber without your full focus.
 
#2 Adjust Your Body

Hi Members,
 
Yes, the 2022-2023 Nittaku Team Uniforms have arrived from Japan!  I took them to the printer this week and they will be here this Friday.
 
When you pay for your 2022-2023 SDTTA membership, you can get your team uniform.  For some of you, your membership expires this month.  For others, it doesn't expire until April or May or June.  Once the 2022-2023 membership has been paid, you can pickup your uniform.
