Greg Letts is an above average Australian player ( ranked 32 in the Commonwealth in 2005) who writes a table tennis blog. Any table tennis player could learn from his musings on the philosophy of life, based on his table tennis experiences.

I’ll just pick out a few gems. Firstly for the ‘oldies’ among us…

• The kids of today are the champions of tomorrow. Sooner or later they will overtake you.
  • But with cunning and experience, you can put off that day as long as possible!

• There will always be those who embrace change, those who fight against it, and those who feel things were better 20 years ago.
  • Over time, you will be in each of those categories at least once!

and some things we all need to remember during the coming season…

• The goal is to hit one more ball on the table than your opponent - whether other people like the way you do it, or with what equipment, doesn’t matter. There are no points given for style.

• Win or lose, give a firm handshake and a sincere “Thank you”.

Think about it!
