Coach Samson Dubina
For years, I have been trying to convince my students to avoid sitting. Sitting too much before, during, and after training and tournaments will kill your body. Think about it...
1. Players often is for 3-4 hours driving to a tournament
2. Players immediately sit down between matches for extended periods of time
3. As soon as the tournament is finished, players immediately sit back in the car and drive another 3-4 hours
4. Players wake up the next day and rest by sitting for 10 hours in front of the TV
Among coaches, there has always been a controversy about the forehand loop technique.
Should the stroke for an exact straight line or should it be somewhat circular? From watching many, many, MANY top players, it is clear to me that the motion should be somewhat circular. I have chosen this short video clip to show you Rye Seung Min's forehand from multiple angles. Go to settings, and watch this youtube video using google chrome on the slowest slow motion.

The Table Tennis Club of Indianapolis welcomed US National Team Coach Samson Dubina over the past weekend for an intense footwork clinic. Players participated in lecture, drills and physical training for up to twelve hours on July 29th and 30th. The players were surprised to learn that there are many neglected aspects of footwork, such as:
1. Understanding Probabilities
2. Learning to Anticipate
