THE EXPERT TABLE TENNIS PODCAST - EPISODE #28

Brian Pace is a professional table tennis player, national level coach, and creator of Dynamic Table Tennis. As a player he achieved a peak USATT rating of 2610 and was ranked within the top 300 in the world – so he’s played at the highest level!

I’ve been trying to get Brian on the show from the very beginning and we’ve finally made it happen. We have a great topic to discuss too; Brian has just released a brand new training video, Loop Fundamentals - from his Shadow Training series. It’s definitely the most unique and innovative table tennis training video I’ve come across, combining table tennis-specific fitness drills with shadow play to improve your strokes.

I got Brian on the show to discuss his thoughts on the importance of fitness for table tennis and why he believes high-intensity shadow play could be the best type of cardio training,I have to admit, I completely agree with him. We also chat a little about Brian’s story and what it takes to become a top table tennis player.

In this episode you’ll learn:

- Why the loop is the ultimate trump card in table tennis.
- How to incorporate shadow play into your practice.
- Brian’s story: from late-starter to US national team.
- What exactly is table tennis talent?
- The importance of table tennis-specific fitness training.
- Why shadow training is the perfect cardio.
- How to get over the fear of looking stupid.
- TOP TIP: Why hand speed is greater than power in the modern game.
- Where to buy your copy of Brian latest training video.

Thanks for listening!

I hope you enjoyed listening to my interview with Brian Pace. I feel like this was one of the strongest episodes so far!

Thank you so much to everyone who has been listening and sharing the podcast. I’m only releasing three episodes in December but if we show continue to grow in popularity then I see no reason why we can’t beat November’s total even with one less episode.

So, please continue to support the show and subscribe on iTunes, leave us an honest iTunes Podcast review, share this episode on Facebook or Twitter, or simply just mentioned it to a friend. I appreciate your help so much!
