This is the best advice ever. Please continue with this.

She is amazing teacher. I played Tennis. I can relate to her concepts so well. Thank you..

i love her lesson... so amazing!!

I played Mariann Domonkos back in the day. We practiced four times a week, and she was incredible. I played her maybe 100 times and she beat me 100 times. That's life!

Excellent explanation of some basics that no other sources put into such a nice simple package. Thanks.

fantastic video... good sharing :) will try this out for sure...

Thanks for excellent lesson. The timing concept would really help in improving the game. Thanks a lot again.

Best advices ever, thanks

For me this was a very good reminder. Because I actually knew already that my timing isn't the best, often when I am hungry for the ball as she mentioned OR when i'm too insecure (too late). It was good to hear it from somebody who knows and emphazises it. I had moments where I struck the ball so well, and even if it wasn't on i knew it was a good stroke. Now I will remember why, because this is the basics before everything - Thanks for sharing! Very helpful if you don't have a coach.

This is an amazing lesson by an amazing teacher. Thank you Ottawa Table Tennis Club for sharing this with the world. Some people will understand how much insight is presented here, and some will not, maybe because of the simplicity of its exposition. But, nonetheless, nothing can take away from its elegance which stands out against the debris of modernity. The latter is a liberal quote from Boogie Woogie (the film) :-) Having said all of that, the people arriving or getting dressed in the background is the most annoying thing I've seen in a while.

Thanks Clearly a game changer.

it's like a table tennis zen, simple truths always worth repeating)

Excellent coaching. I would love to hear her other sessions. The line of the session was "without good timing, technique doesn't matter. You can be the most beautiful player an keep missing everything".

So exciting, usefull!

I enjoyed this presentation, and the concepts being presented by Coach Mariann. I wish I could have been present at the Ottawa Club to participate in the practice session after the lecture. I need to improve my timing and will try to implement these suggestions. Thank you very much for this presentation.

❤ knowledge of the basics makes learning easy, timing in TT most important

more please !

Great tips

Timing really can't be over stated, so important if you want to get to a good level

This is really Master Class, as it is titled

This lecture is great! The presentation describes extremely important and advanced concepts. Too many people worry about technique which is very important for beginners, but advanced players do not require technical lessons, maybe they will need tweaks though. Also to be clear, this is not coaching, this is teaching in a class.

Amazing.Tq

She mentioned a great player who waited on a ball, and then struck it. Oscar Wegner, a great tennis coach, describes timing as waiting on the ball so much it hurts, then striking the ball before it goes by you. She called this striking the ball at the beginning of the movement. Both are talking about the same thing.

why so many dislikes. I think timing is the most important aspect in TT sport.

table tennis is one game you either have it or not . for e.g some people train 20 years while some people train 7 or 9 years and they can wip your ass badly .a great table tennis player champ win with is mental power along with concentration and skill ,it is also a mental war with body action

Very good lecture but that guy dressing up in the bacground steals the show😂

Master class?

I like less talking and more acting , though many good points. After 2 minutes most people stop listening ...psychology 101.

Same voice, same look. wow:)

Are you not instilling analysis paralysis with all your instruction in what comes naturally if in good physical condition with eye-hand coordination.

If so much talking can be good...i will be a champion now..

So match words don't help..Essential points to practise any sport are; 1)Ability to that kind of sport 2)Suitable athletic and menthal conditions 3)Time and necessary finantial supports 4)A substantial club and a good coaching 5)Family support..

Talent is a myth. You dont see the work that they put behind something. No person can follow a player through their life to measure their path and compare it to another player. When you get branded as a talent, the support apparatus will make you talented. The bedrock of every player is safety and self-confidence, which is given to the player by their parents. A trainer I met only once called me talented because I had only played for some months, but this trainer had no insight into how much I had played for those months. Similarly, me putting out a lot of videos on my training on youtube serves to lessen this charismatic appeal of an unknown player suddenly becoming good, because I am showing how much work is behind it. Human beings are not very well suited to grasp the accumulated entity of time.

Some good ideas there, but hardly a master class

her problem is wrong continent :)))) ping pong is competitive sport and North Am. does everything to avoid competition and be exposed. So sad to see someone like her giving lecture to olds instead of youngs.

master class for who? For people cannot hold a bat?

Too much coach for those players !!!

there is no need for this to teach some timing. just have them do a bunch of multiball, and have them find their own timing.

too much talk&theory, chinese coach do better by practice alot & give correction on student's technique

She is constantly talking about a 'racket'. This is not a tennis racket but a table tennis bat. She is a former coach? I have my serious doughts about her as a coach.

An old lady teaching table tennis.. wtf ?
