The pre-season 2023/24 training camp for ALPHA TTK advanced athlete group. Held on the 9th and 10th of September 2023 under the guidance of Eddy Zeile. Taking advantage of our new fully equipped training hall in Mosta with 24/7 availability! The camp, with 9 hours of training, was a huge success.
Eddie Zeile is a Level 3 (ITTF) and Licence B (Ireland) qualified coach. Owner and coach at Dublin Table Tennis Club and also coaching at Borussia Dusseldorf in Germany. No need to say that he gave invaluable input to all players both in the technical and tactical aspects of the game.
Pre-Season Advanced Training Camp Rationale
The main focus of the camp was to train and learn tactics to perform during matches. Furthermore, the program included tactics for strengthening the mindset and attitude towards warm up, exercise drills and matches.
This is what Coach Eddy had to say about ALPHA TTK:
The players and staff need to be commended for their attitude, passion and atmosphere. No matter the age, level or experience of the sport, they listened and trained hard. Focused on their bad habits and good habits to just get better even if it was 1%. Amazing engagement on and off the table.
An example of professionalism at its highest level
