Understand Your Mistakes

By Coach Carl Hardin

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Coach Carl Hardin is both a table tennis coach and a top-level bowling coach.  This week, we had a brief conversation on the phone.  At the end of the talk, I asked him to summarize what he was explaining in article form so that you could see the difference.  If you have ever come to one of my classes, you will understand that Coach Carl Hardin's approach has had a huge impact on my coaching.
 
 
Understanding Your Mistakes
By Coach Carl Hardin

Crucifixion of Jesus Christ

Luke 23

 
 
 
 
 
 
Many people that I have talked with have said, "I have lived a wicked life, God will never accept me."

The Smasher
 
 
Playing against smashers can seem overwhelming – it might seem as if they are smashing everything – your loops, your flips, your pushes.  These players want to put pressure on you enough to take you out of your normal game.  Before you freak out, just listen to a bit of advice.
 

Efficient Workouts!

The Daily Minimum!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Students,

As I have told you many times, this is your daily minimum.
3 minute dynamic warmup routine prior to practice and a 10 minute fitness routine after practice. If you get these done, you can feel free to workout more. Each day, you can choose to do the core workout or the leg workout.
I would encourage you to pull out your phone or turn on your tablet and follow along to make sure that your workout stays timed and structured.

Thanks!
Coach Samson Dubina

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Learn How Sinners Can Be Made Right With A Holy God

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
How Can a Sinner Be Saved?
 
Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

The Complete Game

Learn the importance of developing many skills

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I have asked many table tennis players about the most important aspects of the game.  I commonly hear responses such as…
 
“It’s all about footwork.  If my footwork improves, I’ll be able to return everything because I’ll be in position.”
 
“This game is 99% about serve and serve return.  If I can improve those aspects, I can really beat everyone at this club.”
 

It's Not All About You

Something to Think About...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Helping Others...
 
Everyone starts table tennis as a beginner. No one picks up a racket for the first time and is 2000+ level.
Probably along your way to greatness, there have been players who have helped you.
