The Traits of a Good Coach

1. Knows the discipline he's coaching

- the coach has to know ins and outs of the discipline: the
rules, the history, the tactics etc. Without it they won't be
able to do their job properly.

2. Motivates the players

- Without proper motivation, everything comes apart. The
coach's job is to give the players enough motivation to make
them start doing things as good as they are able to and
bring out the best in them.
3. Talks only when it gets results

- A good coach will never speak without a good cause. So a

coach is a person who should talk only when necessary – this
will give their words an extra weight.

4. Is able to listen

- Being calmer than usual means also that a coach should be a

good listener. If they are to become a good coach, they need to
become a substitute father or mother for their team and
listening is the single most important trait that can make it
possible.
5. Knows their team
- Another important matter is knowing one's team. A
good coach knows everything – both about
professional and private life of their players.

6. Treats everyone individually

- it is necessary to treat every player individually.
Shouting works only on some of them, the same story
is with talking seriously. Using the same method to get
everyone do what you say will surely end in breaking
some of your players to pieces.
7. Leads by example

- The last, but not least: a good coach

do themselves everything he will ask
others to do. They always set an
example – they are first on the trainings
and perform every single exercise they
order others to do.
 The Top Ten Core Coaching Principles
To Win The Mental Game Of Coaching

1. Create a safe place for players to be and to explore

themselves.

2. Listen, probe, intuit, have dialogue, search for truth

and meaning.

situation.
4. Uncover player goals, desires and hopes,
with time lines.

5. Explore possibilities and avenues to these

potentialities.

6. Create systems and processes to translate

player desires into regular actions for success.
7. Be a model of how your coaching
displays your life philosophies and
ways in the world.

8. Be unconditionally accepting
and supportive of players.
9. Align player values with their
goals and their style in the world.

10. Be a broad, deep, potent

resource for players in every way.
“Coaching is about a relationship, not about techniques.
Coaching is about trust, integrity and honesty, not about glib
directives. Coaching is about the client's needs and wants, not
about forwarding the coach's agenda.”

“Coaching is about creative exploration of possibilities, not

structuring predetermined systems and pathways. Coaching is
about nuanced, detailed communication, not blanket, quick
homilies and tips.”

“ Coaching is about creating a big vision, not just about fixing

problems. Coaching is about evolution and expansion, not just
day to day living.”
- Bill Cole
THE GAME STRATEGIES OF TABLE TENNIS
1. Hit to weak side
Hitting the ball to your opponent’s weak side, usually the
left side
2. Put spin on the ball
Top spin- curves the ball downward to the table and allows
more power to hit
Back spin or under spin- can confuse an opponent but the
ball often bounces up and allows the player to “kill” the
return
Side spin- can cause the ball to go off the opponent’s
paddle in unexpected directions
3. Set-up opponent
Getting the opponent to run and set
him up for a shot he cannot return

4. Have focus
 Focus on returning the ball safely to
the opponent’s court.
