Being disrespectful and unsportsmanlike to your opponent, that’s how you used to play? Nothing wrong with emotions, anger, passion, throwing your racket. Maybe even kicking the table. That’s all part of the game, but trying so hard to look like you don’t care at all, just to get into your opponent’s head, and even mocking him, that is not worthy of a player at this level and has nothing to do with the “passion” you mentioned. Great performance nonetheless, hopefully he can go far. Peace

Agree mostly. His temperament is one of his best assets but has be tamed. I mean explosiveness, winner mentality etc. Learn from the Chinese table tennis and integrate breathing methods (it's a natural part of their culture gi gong, tai chi & martial arts). All moves are connected to the breathing. I'm convinced it's an important part of the Chinese success. The advantages are obvious: increased mental control, better flow coordination movements (what is consistency!), better oxygenation of the muscles (prevent accumulation lactic acid). There are more! In Truls case maybe better start there.
