A LOOK INSIDE A TABLE TENNIS TRAINING CAMP | Birmingham | August 2024

Hi everyone, another vlog for you! Here we delve into a table tennis training camp that I attended at Nishkam High School in Birmingham.

The camp was run by Ed Lynn who has years of experience in both coaching and running training camps, and I try attend them as often as I can. Guest coaches include Sam Wilson (former England U21 #1), Mustapha Manager (former India national junior), Lee McHugh (top Essex county coach) and Toby Ellis (current England U21 #2). All of them gave me fantastic advice throughout the 2 days.

This video follows me through the training, see the drills we do and why we do them. I share my thoughts on how things have gone and what I need to work on to improve!

As the days were extensive, there is a lot of footage! I’ve edited it down as best as I can, but it’s divided into chapters so you can skip sections or head straight to the parts that interest you the most!

Hope you enjoy!
