After 24 years thought about playing in a Table tennis tournament. On the 18th of June, there was an open table tennis tournament at Decathlon. Luckily without any practice, I was able to reach the semifinals. However, there was a huge competition as there were players who continuously practice table tennis. The intention of this writing is to show how both experience and continuous practice is important for any work.
In life, we meet teams with young blood and experienced people. Both of these categories are really important. A perfect blend of these two categories drives the whole team to achieve its goals.
I would like to explain this with my own experience I had on the Decathlon Table tennis tournament. In the first match, I had an opponent fairly closer to my age. I lost the first round to him. Now to win this match I had to win both of the next rounds. Then I used my experience. I understood that I don’t have the physical fitness to play with this opponent. So, I made the game slow and allowed him to do the mistakes. I was able to win the next two rounds and win that game. When I used to play table tennis early I was quick but now I know it is not easy to come to that quickness. So I used my experience to change the tempo of the game and finally won.

After a few matches, I had to play with a very young boy. He is practicing table tennis as a sport. He was fast and quick so tried to use my experience to change the tempo again. But this time I could not win as he had the rhythm of the game as he continuously practices table tennis.?So, in that scenario, the continuous practice was the key point.
The main point that I would like to illustrate is the importance of maintaining the balance between continuous practices and the experience. If someone is experienced means that person had continuously practiced something for a long period. So, keep continuing that practice is really important.
I believe this is a really good life experience and we can use this in any life situation. After losing to that boy he came to me and said, well-played Uncle. First, I got shocked and then I understood that compared to him I am fairly older. So, in life, it is important to accept nature and improve your life for the betterment. When there is a team that accepts the reality and keeps focusing on improvements then that team excels and achieves its goals.
