Table tennis competition as a barometer of player skills

 

By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living

The barometer for sports achievement is the achievement of competition results by an athlete/player. Without competition, good achievements will not be born.

All sports have a competition agenda, usually the parent organization has a fixed calendar. But for the grassroots class, it seems that only table tennis has the most competition in tournament containers, both mini and open tournaments. Almost every Saturday/Sunday in Greater Jakarta there is always a table tennis tournament.

Not all players aim for the podium in participating in a tournament, of course by measuring the skills they have. Participating in tournaments can at least serve as a measure of improving skills while we practice, it can also be a place for friendship between players.

It feels incomplete if we have practiced but have not tried to compete in tournaments, like vegetables lacking salt, that is a process that must be passed by every player. The spirit of participating in the competition, muster all the capabilities that are owned, enjoy the results after we have tried our best.

Whatever the result of the competition, evaluate the deficiencies that still exist, and the next step is to target goals in the next competition.

Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
