JOOLA USA

Hi Everyone,

Wow! my blog is the most popular blog. My coach told me about it. I am enjoying playing in the USATT league here in the Bay Area. I am in the U3900 team for Palo Alto Club. I am getting good experience playing different kinds of players. I am looking forward to the Elite group matches on Mar 15th. Will be fun to watch Stefan play a tournament.  Harry is still missing in action. I sometimes get threats that he is going to return but so far I have escaped :) Soon, I shall post a picture of him and maybe Sheri for all of you to see. So if you meet them, you can say Hi to them from me. Maybe if you are nice to them, they might even coach you. They are GOOD. Now I think they feel I am good so I don't need their help :)

Keep having fun. Hope to see some of you at the Berkeley Tournament this month.

 Kanak.

hi everyone. Am back again. My friends Harry and Sheri have been missing in action for quite a while now. Not sure where they are. Maybe they feel I don't need TT coaching from them anymore. I don't miss them though :) I enjoyed the World Junior TT Championships at Stanford. Besides watching some good matches, I went around getting some of the players to autograph my book. US Nationals wasa lot of fun. I got to play with so many players with rackets/rubbers that I have never played against before. Hard bat, long pips, medium pips, combination of hard bat, long pips etc.  How does one get experience in playing these players?. I did well with some and lost to some. Overall I played very well and got a rating jump  of 360 points. Now I am 1162 rated.  Hurrah! I took a break from Table Tennis after the nationals but now I am ready to get started again. Waiting for my TT camps to start so I can practice and improve my game more. Watch out for me at the next Nationals :)

I am back again. This time I want to talk about my 2 new friends who are helping me improve my TT game. Their names are Harry and Sherry. Harry helps me more often than Sherry. He coaches me silently and watches me constantly as I play TT. He stands behind me. He does not like being touched so I have to say sorry to him everytime I bump into him. Someday I shall share his picture with you all. He is FUNNY in a weird way :)  I am continuing with improving my game with practice and coaching. Bye for now.

I am excited and nervous about the coming Stanford tournament. My coaches tell me to focus on my techniques and not worry about winning or losing as I am only 7 years old. But that is soooo HARD. I want to play to win. It's going to be hard to think about techniques only, but I am going to try.  Currently I am learning to put more spin on my topspin. I am  having fun learning andplaying Table Tennis.

My first blog! I am so excited to be part of Team Joola. My goal is to be like Stefan Feth and Khoa. I know I have to work hard. I am learning good techniques at Palo Alto Club and from Dennis, Stefan and all the coaches there. I started learning Table Tennis  a little over a year at ICC.  I am lucky to have great coaches.
