It’s a game or competition between 2 or 4 participants. At first the referee giving away the players decide the winner if you start with the serve or choice of sides. The loser of the toss chooses the option left. When you start the game the punch has a single attempt to get even if the ball touches the net and bounces on the ground opposite the throw be repeated. When a player fails to return the ball (to make a boat sink or in the opponent without before touching anything else) instead scores a point. Each player has two aces and the game ends when one reaches 11 points, the proviso is that you must achieve a minimum difference of 2 points, otherwise each player clears each until it reaches the difference of 2 points. When this happens is called the player won a game (formerly known as September as in the conventional tennis).

You can play best of 5 or 7 games which must be determined prior to start the game. In the case of 4 players or doubles, each player one partner must hit the ball alternately. ‘s serve, in this case in particular, should be performed in a cross from right to right, a pull on each hand and touching the center line is valid.

1. Play point by point without thinking about the score.
One of the main problems that need for competition is the loss of focus. It is very easy to let the mind wander and let us press for the score.
Ideally, a good player must play every point to its highest level in a state of mind and optimum performance. Giving too much of a focus point on the scoreboard makes our level of anxiety is out of balance and force us to make mistakes.

2. Focus only on seeing the ball .
Do not lose a point for not seeing the ball. I believe there is a tennis player who has not heard this statement many times. However even at high performance levels not to focus on the ball during the far point of contact remains the major cause of errors in a game. Especially when the pressure increases. The first thing a player is to miss the ball by focusing on the target or the opposing player.

3. Do not think of anything, not analyze.
This is a clear example where less is more. We often think that using the head on the court and is constantly thinking about how to perform better. The reality is that the tendency of most players is about to analyze. In tennis begins once the point is played by instinct based on their skills automated. Do not have time to think as he will hit the ball or where it will shoot. The player must recognize the situation and react.

4. Enjoy the party celebrating the points are won and forget those lost.
It is impossible to enjoy what we do if we are focusing mainly on what we do not work. Unfortunately too many players use this strategy during the game. When they lose the point is angry and criticize but when they win the points, do not care as if it were normal. With this mindset all the energy is focused on the negative and is no longer optimal performance. To compete at our highest level is essential to make something very positive competitive experience and only reversed this scheme we can achieve.

5. Perfectly focused at the point of contact.
This strategy is another way to make sure we’re keeping our eyes on the ball throughout the period, especially during the most important moment is the point of contact. Many players really if you are focused on the ball for the point, but just before the moment of contact to look up where they think the shot put or to the opponent to see where it moves. This movement of the head makes contact the ball not achieve the ideal and therefore fail the shot. The most critical way to focus on the ball is after the boat to the contact. Focusing on the ball during this time ensures a good contact point.

Table tennis is considered an Olympic sport from the games of Seoul, Korea in 1988 but had been declared Special Olympics in 1977.

The origin of the juice back and early twentieth century in England where it was originally called ping-pong ® (as shown by the symbol, ping pong is a registered name and not the correct way to name the sport, it is appropriate to call table tennis from the development of the first rules in 1920 ). The first official competition (World Championships) was held in the city of London in 1926 . Among the most prominent competitions in the world cup this Swathling by men’s teams and the top teams also Corbillon but in this case female.

It is a table specially tailored for the sport and as you can see in the picture of the table tennis table, her measurements are: 2.74 m long and 1.52 meters wide. The height from the floor should be 76 cm. and the height of the net must be 15.25 cm. Divided by 4 lines are the baseline, centerline and 2 equal and parallel lines which are called lateral lines. The top surface should be dull, dark color, uniform throughout its surface and return a boat to a height between 22 to 25 cm. if we drop a ball from 30 inches in height. The net divides the table into 2 equal halves should have a uniform height throughout its length.

The paddle or racket for tennis table
Historically in the beginning of this exciting sport was simply a piece of wood but a step as simple as placing a thin layer of rubber on both sides made ??this game a fun game that captivated the masses (the ball achieve more effects and faster). There are 2 ways to make the palette in the table tennis: A western style in which both sides are used by grasping the shovel handle with fingers collected on the East and a way in which the fingers extend over one side of the palette in this way one side during the game (see photo).

When a high-level athlete is removed is just travel, stress and pressure, but the applause and affection of the public. In theory. Because seeing Arantxa Sanchez Vicario walk in the Sony Ericsson Championships ended yesterday in Madrid seems more hectic than when rattled half of Spain at Roland Garros. She is the image of the tournament, and commentator for TVE, so has the agenda to the top. And he knows everybody. He stops to speak with Kuznetsova and other players, attending a Belgian TV and then choose a snack at the restaurant of the players. Only water, because you just ate.

With a sleek black suit, almost festive, made up and coiffed, the current image of the small of Sanchez Vicario is far from giving up five years ago on the slopes. It is a 35 year old woman that looks professional and seems to function in any environment. And used to be heard. In English, Spanish, French, German or Italian. Do not miss the whirlwind of high competition, where he spent 18 years, more than half my life and where he won four Grand Slam tournaments (10 more in doubles) and reached number one. “Not at all miss him. But I was a player who loved the contact with the audience, the bigger and better fills the track playing. Now I do not live well. But I still have the love of people, keep telling me the street I’m the best and it is good. ” Arantxa drink in small sips, rejecting a croissant.

It is remembered especially his three Roland Garros (1989, 1994 and 1998) and U.S. Open 1994. The Catalan player remains in close contact with the world. After a year and a half sabbatical to “relax and enjoy everything we could do when he played,” decided to get going. “I knew it would be something related to tennis.” Besides his work in the Masters Tournament, leads the women’s tournament in Barcelona KIA, the only women’s tour in Spain and is a mentor to the Russian player Kuznetsova in the circuit. “When in doubt seek advice me and I will bring my experience. She has the support of a player who knows what have been the number one, the pressure that comes with getting there.”

What they do not want to hear about is returning to the slopes. Much less as a coach. “No, no, no. Now I’m on the other hand, as an entrepreneur.” All you have to do with organizing sports events. “Now not everything depends on you, like when you’re on the track. Is a new experience for me, you have to organize, coordinate many things, sponsors, television … everything. I like this side and is a way of enhancing women’s tennis. ” A tennis has little to do with a few years ago, invaded by sportsmen model increasingly young women. “Women’s tennis is much more feminine now. Not just play. The players are getting taller, more stylish, many have tipaza model … and know the brands. Girls can do more advertising and more talk their physical, and I think well. But ultimately what people remember is if you’ve been number one and have won many Grand Slam. “
