Coaching Process

PART 1: FULL COACH MANUAL

SIR FITNESS 2026 – PINGPOD COACH DELIVERY GUIDE

Program Philosophy

This program is built on one principle:

Skill is developed over time through structured repetition, not in a single session.

Session One introduces movement.
Progress happens through:

  • At-home repetition using SIR
  • Guided refinement at PingPod
  • Consistent reinforcement with the NOVA S Pro Table Tennis Robot

Coaches must emphasize:

  • Comfort over performance
  • Progress over perfection
  • Confidence over speed

Session One Objective

The goal of Session One is:

  • Introduce correct forehand and backhand movement
  • Establish rhythm and coordination
  • Record a personalized take-home training session
  • Build confidence and remove intimidation

Important:
Students are not expected to master strokes in Session One.

They are expected to reach a true beginner foundation level.
