Talkin' Smash powered by JOOLA Ep11: The Difficult Task of Handling Pressure in Matches with Vitor Ishiy
Manage episode 411596525 series 3514021
We had a great chance to sit down and chat with Vitor Ishiy, one of the mainstays of the Brazilian National Team and a 12-time Pan American Championships gold medalist.
We spoke with Vitor about the difficult task of handling pressure in high stakes table tennis matches. As part of this discussion we spoke initially about how pressure can affect a player during matches, both physically and mentally.
Vitor also touched on different stages of pressure and where you can deal with them. A player can utilize different methods to combat the negative impacts of pressure before and between tournaments, before matches, during matches and between matches.
Each player is different, but listening to Vitor's own personal experience is something that a lot of players can surely relate to.
As always we threw in a fun break segment to keep things light.
Note: There were a couple of small blips with the mic set when recording so on a few occasions the mic cuts out very momentarily.
