| [Lessons from Table Tennis] |
| Ben Carter |
| The ball flew at lightning speed to my backhand. It was completely |
|unexpected and I had no time to react. I lost the point and the match. |
|Defeat... Again! This is how it was in the first few months when I |
|started playing table tennis. It was frustrating, but now I know that |
|the sport taught me more than simply how to be a better athlete. |
| In middle school, I loved football. I was one of the top scorers, but |
|I didn't get along with my teammates. The coach often said that I should|
|be more of a team player. I know I should work on the problem, but |
|communication was just not my strong point. |
| I had to leave the football club when my family moved to a new town. I|
|wasn't upset as I had decided to stop playing football anyway. My new |
|school had a table tennis club, coached by the PE teacher, Mr Trent, and|
|I joined that. To be honest, I chose table tennis because I thought it |
|would be easier for me to play individually. |
| At first, I lost more games than I won. I was frustrated and often |
|went straight home after practice, not speaking anyone. One day, |
|however, Mr Trent said to me, "You could be a good player, Ben, but you |
|need to think more about your game. What do you think you need to do?" |
|"I don't know," I replied, "focus on the ball more?" "Yes," Mr Trent |
|continued, "but you also need to study your opponent's moves and adjust |
|your play accordingly. Remember, your opponent is a person, not a ball."|
|This made a deep impression on me. |
