By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living

Table tennis is a sport that combines skill, strength and intelligence. A small ball that is played in table tennis requires fast movements to master it, so that someone who plays table tennis requires certain abilities such as dexterity, intelligence, reflexes, and high reaction power.

In order to become a table tennis player who is good and accomplished, apart from having talent, one must possess the elements mentioned above and must be supported with very good aerobic endurance.

To support success in coaching table tennis players, good physical conditions and player intelligence are needed, because good physical conditions supported by good thinking intelligence play a very important role in increasing achievement.

Physical condition is one of the indispensable prerequisites in any effort to improve a player's performance, it can even be said to be the basic foundation of sports achievement.

The intelligence possessed by players will make it easier for them to set the tempo of play, as well as in the use of tactics and strategies so they can control the game at a certain time.

Intelligence encourages a player to be aware of the importance of training, especially for student athletes who have to share their focus with studying at school or playing with their friends.

In other words, the intelligence of a player plays a very important role in the game of table tennis to absorb, read and apply playing strategies and tactics.

For example, if we are going to serve, think about how we are going to take points. Don't serve before we are sure of returning the opponent's ball. Make your opponent follow our game, not the other way around. Hesitation is worse than a bad decision.
