Is it better to play multiple sports or focus on ONLY table tennis?
This is up to each family.  Many top table tennis players like Kanak Jha started out playing soccer or other sports.  Around age 11-12 years old, many of them decided to dedicate more time to table tennis.  Professional players usually practice around 25-30 hours/week.

Perfection

by Samson Dubina on Mon, 2017-12-11 07:36
Bible Verse of the Week

 
 
 
 
 
Matthew 7:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
 
How can we follow Jesus’ command?  How can any human be perfect? We can’t.  This is an impossible standard.  The good news is that Jesus has met this standard on our behalf.
 
2 Corinthians 5:21 For God made him who had no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Against a punch block
When looping or smashing a high ball
