1. The Sport Itself
Obvious I know, but no sport I've played comes close to the enjoyment and
satisfaction I get from a good game of table tennis. I just love to play!
2. Hitting a Perfect Shot
Every now and again everything comes together and you hit a stroke that is
just how you planned it, and the ball feels so sweet off the bat when you
hit it. You know, the sort of shot that keeps you hooked and coming back for
more, trying to repeat the feeling.
3. The Ping-Pong Brotherhood
Ping-pong has its fair share of strange characters, but on the whole I've
met a lot of great people through table tennis. When you meet a fellow ping-
pong player, you instantly have something in common, so you always have
something to talk about freely while getting to know each other.
4. Teaching
I've no claim on being a world-class coach, but I do find it immensely
satisfying in helping other players improve. Whether it's a beginner trying
to hit his first topspin counterhit, or an experienced player who is trying
to refine his loop technique, it's a buzz to watch them improve and know you
had a hand in them getting better.
5. Beginners
New ping-pong players are always great to have around, since they are almost
always so enthusiastic about the sport and so eager to learn everything.
Whenever I get a bit jaded with it all, coaching and playing with beginners
reminds me what a great sport table tennis really is.
6. Watching the Pros
Whether live or on video, it's always exciting to watch the best in action.
Seeing world class players up close and personal is an inspiration for what
can be achieved with hard work and training, and always makes me want to go
out and train harder!
7. Trying New Equipment
Expensive as it may be, isn't it fun trying out new rubbers, blades, glues,
or shoes? Even if you love your current racket, there's always the
possibility that the next rubber you try might be the magical solution to
all your ping-pong problems. Or just a little bit better than your current
rubber maybe. It's the same with flicking through the manufacturer catalogs
or browsing their websites - it's just interesting to read about the
different rubbers, blades and other equipment.
8. Competition
I played my first real tournament at age 15, and I've been hooked on
competitions ever since. I've lost my fair share of matches on the way up,
but every tournament was a whole fresh start, a new chance to compete and
prove that you've gotten better since the last time. Even now, over 20 years
later, I still like nothing better than coming to the hall at the start of
competition, with a whole day's play ahead of me, full of promise.
9. The Chance Keep on Learning and Improving
After over 20 years in the sport, I find I'm still learning new things about
tactics and techniques. Although my physical peak may be behind me, I find
I can still raise my level by improving my technique and strategies. And
with the rise of the veterans age groups, I'll be able to compete against
people my own age when I'm not taking on the young guns in the Open
categories!
10. Table Tennis Opportunities
Playing table tennis has opened up a number of other doors for me. Just
wanting to write about table tennis got me started on my own personal ping-
pong website, and led eventually to me being the Table Tennis/Ping-Pong
Guide here at About.com. Now I get to hear from and chat to people all over
the world who play and love table tennis too! | j*******d
