From basement equipment junkie to (almost) 2000-rated tournament player
I've taken hundreds of lessons and made thousands of videos. Here's everything I've learned distilled into easy understandable lessons for other people in my shoes.
Hey I'm Josh.
I just started playing in my late 20s, but somehow I was able to achieve a near 2000 rating in only a few short years.
And I've only been able to do that because I've trained with many of the top coaches in the world.
Youtube videos don't cut it...
No matter how many times you watch pros play on YouTube, you can't LEARN the sport until you've gotten in the head of a newbie who went from 0-rating to (nearly) 2000 rated. The lessons I've learned here are applicable to anyone starting in the realm of table tennis.
Most newbies can't relate to a coach who's 2600. Watch lessons from the perspective of someone starting out, and see the exact trials and tribulations I've experienced while growing my rating to nearly 2000 in only 3 years.
Getting in-to the weeds of table tennis technique is something you don't get until you train with professional coaches from China. Things like the right pressure points in the hand, to nitty gritty footwork tactics.
That's why I made the Muscle Pong membership program.
