Mental strength

[@chinmaykodag4561]

I love the fact that in today's age we can get advice from one of the greatest players of all time for free.

[@tonyping3678]

I know right

[@aymen_zelda]

That's unreal

[@Kaito_TV]

To pump up myself when I am in a difficult situation, I think about what Timo Boll would do So I switch hands ( except that I lose)

[@bpsychotique]

underrated comment

[@CHO-bi3gm]

Thank you, Timo! It is undeniable to say that the mental strength is more important than table tennis skills as always. The epic comeback in 2017 Men's World Cup is the outstanding performance and perfect example to prove that why mental strength is so essential.

[@adityaabhyankar3980]

Wow! What a great video - this needs to be shown in every sports class.

[@uddipansharma472]

I think this is one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZbin

[@eloimumford5247]

This is direct to my heart , golden words of wisdom : enjoy this limited time on the court. Win or defeat there is something to learn , TT is a concentrate of Life. Thanks Timo.

[@emanuelscarlatache6458]

This might be the MVV (most valuable video) from Timo ♥️

[@SeanMcGibbon]

This is incredible, free advice from a World Champion. Thank you, Timo for starting this channel. I've really been enjoying the videos you've been producing!

[@subhasischattopadhyay3157]

Timo Boll, the name represents honesty, humbleness, commitment, sincerity, dedication and persistence in Table Tennis. One of the statements he said is similar to ".. don't think for loss or victory (i.e. results) but focus on your work"...is similarly advised in Holy Bhagavad Gita.

[@RaviShankar-jm1qw]

It's such a wonderful gesture by Timo to share his wisdom of his game with us. Really great to hear from one of the greats of TT.

[@simonh.1433]

Hi Timo, i played table tennis my whole youth and had the goal of becoming as successful as possible with it. Unfortunately, interest changed within my teenager years and slowly but steadily i took time off from TT to pursue different things in my life. 15 Years later i am still watching TT, falling in love with the sport again and admiring your passion and consistency for the sport. You are a legend my friend! Liebe Gruesse Timo, mach weiter so und viel Erfolg bei deinen sportlichen Zielen! Dein Simon

[@SobatRider]

What a great tips! I always watch your video before I play with my friends. You are my favorite table tennis player Timo😊

[@duggiwu]

Damn .... this video truly inspires me even more when i’m currently fed-up of my own self... i keep losing games to my own mistakes and strokes and always tend to build up negativity as i lose even more ... ur mental advice to me is gonna help me and i will learn frm it... maybe perhaps i will take a 1/2 days break frm table-tennis... and try learn from this advice of yours and put it in the game as well as in life.... really really helpful video when i currently can’t find a solution, but just found one , thanks Timo , appreciate it !

[@xzchc]

This is great advice not only for professional sports or sports on a lower level of competitiveness -- it is great advice for life in general. Danke Timo.

[@eshakhot4160]

Great tips! You are my favourite player, Will surely meet you someday but not just as a fan but as one of the best table tennis players .

[@moka7986]

Thanks for the advice. I have been playing table tennis for about 10 years and have been losing almost 90% of matches. This gives me too much stress 😬 and not enjoying anymore table tennis. I am just playing to win which almost never happened. My mental strength collapses during a match especially in the last round. Many people are telling me to stop playing if it gives me stress and I think they are right but I just can't stop... I have tried to overcome my weak mentality by stopping table tennis a month when I get too much stress, having lessons by professional players, buying good quality equipment, etc. Well, at the end of the day, I lose. 😢 Trying to be positive and trying to enjoy table tennis itself but it's too hard. Sorry about my complaints.

[@anujitganguly2029]

Very nicely said. I specially liked the part about taking your opponent very seriously, ever time.

[@jaydavidson4592]

The best table tennis players, or athletes in general are very smart. More than physical talent is needed for success

[@ALI_FA17]

A little? helped me alot! this will be beneficial when it comes to psychology.

[@naskoivanov3552]

Great video! I have been wondering for so long watching matches of Timo, what is he thinking at certain moments of the match, because let's be honest, Timo is probably one of the greatest table tennis players under pressure. Very strong mentally and it is incredible that now he somehow explains his way of thinking and what is the right mindset in all these different stages of a match.

I have no mental strength. When I start sucking, I lose confidence, get angry and lose. Side effects may be broken paddle, extreme yelling, or depression

...depression and no sleep at night...

[@alexalesna2818]

Thank you Zen Master Timo. You are my idol.

[@Duende70]

What to do if you´ve lost a several times 9:11 in the fifth set? And some of these games after leading in the decider? And every time you are going in the fifth set you are afraid of losing, especially at the end of the set, at 8:8 or something like that. And your body is full of tense or sometimes weakness, and your mind is a tunnel with an oncoming locomotive. I have nightmares of this situation. Yesterday I have lost again: 9:11 in the fifth set. I am thinking about going to give up matches at all, and only go to training... sad.

[@peterkajan6645]

How are you doing? I also have the same problem. Still working on it.

[@Duende70]

@@peterkajan6645 The problem get less intense because I got a lot of technical training so my playing skills are better now. If the fifth-set-tunnel appears I take longer time for my serves, if I go behind in points I take time-out. If I loose I concentrate on next game, not any longer on the lost game.

[@peterkajan6645]

Olá, Timo Boll! Eu sou do Brasil admiro muito seu estilo de jogo e queria acompanhar suas dicas, porém não entendo sua língua, a dica que ti dou é que pelo menos colocasse uma legenda em seus vídeos, um abraço Timo...

[@josuebyte]

Ele não vai entender. Aprenda Ingles que voce entender tudo. Aprender ingles é muito importante !

[@josuebyte]

@Cole DeBeer Oui, malheureusement au Brésil, peu de gens parlent couramment l'anglais. Timo Boll ne comprendrait pas ce qu'il dit ! C'est pourquoi l'anglais est la langue la plus importante à apprendre dans le monde.

[@josuebyte]

@Cole DeBeer Malheureusement, ici au Brésil, le tennis de table n'est pas aussi populaire. Vous devez payer un prix élevé chaque mois avec du caoutchouc et du racket. Ici le parrainage est difficile, ici dans l'état où je vis le fret à acheter sur internet est cher et a d'autres complications. Malgré cela, nous avons Hugo qui a beaucoup aidé à promouvoir le sport, ici aussi il y a un nettoyeur et un restaurateur de caoutchouc sans effet qui aide à ne pas payer chaque mois si cher avec la raquette et le caoutchouc qu'ici c'est cher. Ici, tout est à faire, mais un jour, je suis sûr que la situation s'améliorera beaucoup

[@josuebyte]

@Cole DeBeer Désolé, je n'ai pas un bon français. Pouvez-vous comprendre ?

[@josuebyte]

Thanks. I'll continue to learn other languages

Timo make sure you stay with table tennis so you don't get too depressed when leaving the game as a player. Being a coach can also be higly rewarding.

In the matches which i get very nervous, i start playing too safe and opponent starts to dominate the game. It's my biggest mistake.
