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

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.
