MY REFLECTION

Table tennis is a complex, multi-layered game, and mastery requires a balance of mental
strategies and physical skill. But even the most complex game is built on the foundation of four basic
skills that even a beginner can learn and practice to improve their game. In playing table tennis, I
learned that practicing the basic skills of table tennis improves my performance and my enjoyment
and allows me to develop more advanced skills later on.
I think that table tennis is the best brain sport ever. It is highly aerobic, uses both the upper and
lower body, is great for eye hand coordination and reflexes, and causes me to use many different
areas of the brain at once as I track the ball, plan shots and strategies, and figure out spins. It is like
aerobic chess. Plus, table tennis causes very few head injuries. Table tennis, or Ping Pong, is the
second most popular organized sport in the world. What is even more impressive is that it is the
youngest of the world’s major sports. At the competitive level, players hit the ball in excess of 90
miles per hour across the table. As well as being a fantastic physical work out, table tennis is also a
great mental work out. I learned that I must plan strategies and decide what spin to put on the ball,
whilst trying to stay one step ahead of my opponent and react to the shots they are playing all at the
same time. Decisions must be made in split seconds, this increases concentration levels, short term
memory, and decision-making ability.
All this mental exercise boosts hormone levels and keeps the brain young, which can slow the
progress of cognitive decline that occurs with ageing. It is also a sport that is good for social bonding
with its friendly but competitive nature. It can be enjoyed at your local club where you can meet new
people and form lasting friendships. It can also be played at home as a great way to spend more
quality time together and bring the family closer.
