“…In the future, this may lead to a better explanation of the variance between performance groups. In addition to motor test extensions, psychological test items could also provide further indications of potential future top performers [31,56,[61][62][63]. Zuber et al [31] have made the first promising attempts to integrate psychological tests into a talent identification campaign in the Swiss Soccer Federation.…”

(1) Background: The search for talented young athletes is an important element of top-class sport. While performance profiles and suitable test tasks for talent identification have already been extensively investigated, there are few studies on statistical prediction methods for talent identification. Therefore, this long-term study examined the prognostic validity of four talent prediction methods. (2) Methods: Tennis players (N = 174; n♀ = 62 and n♂ = 112) at the age of eight years (U9) were examined using five physical fitness tests and four motor competence tests. Based on the test results, four predictions regarding the individual future performance were made for each participant using a linear recommendation score, a logistic regression, a discriminant analysis, and a neural network. These forecasts were then compared with the athletes’ achieved performance success at least four years later (U13‒U18). (3) Results: All four prediction methods showed a medium-to-high prognostic validity with respect to their forecasts. Their values of relative improvement over chance ranged from 0.447 (logistic regression) to 0.654 (tennis recommendation score). (4) Conclusions: However, the best results are only obtained by combining the non-linear method (neural network) with one of the linear methods. Nevertheless, 18.75% of later high-performance tennis players could not be predicted using any of the methods.

“…Some ways to develop easy ball timing skills include; 1) Point of contact, preferably on the right in front of the body, exhaling when hitting the ball will help concentration and feeling towards the ball better, 2) Racket head, always facing forward and perpendicular when impacting with the ball, 3) The rhythm of racket swing must have acceleration just before impact with the ball. Meanwhile, according to [27] he said that the ways to develop difficult ball timing skills include; 1) React to the ball and quickly prepare yourself. First, to react quickly to the incoming ball can be done by focusing on the direction of the ball before the ball crosses the net to the right or to the left.…”

Tennis requires coordination and concentration. Concentration is a very important component in improving achievement, because concentration is the ability to focus one's attention in a relatively long period of time. This ability must be possessed by individuals because concentration will affect a person's cognitive abilities. If a person's concentration is high, his cognitive abilities will also be high. One of the causes of someone experiencing concentration problems is because the person likes to daydream excessively. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor cognitive coordination training (MCCT) program could improve the concentration ability of beginner tennis players. The method used was the experimental method. The research subjects were novice tennis athletes in Tasikmalaya, totaling thirty-seven people. The age range of the participants ranged from 11-16 years. As a result, it is proven that the implementation of the MCCT program provides good effectiveness for increasing the concentration of beginner tennis athletes. This is supported by the results of the significance test with the P-value of the paired sample t-test of 0.001 <0.05. This means that Ho is rejected, so it can be concluded that there is a difference in the average concentration test scores between the pre-test and post-test in this study.

“…Educators must be smart in designing the learning process in order to attract the attention of students to be interested in following the learning process. It is explained that the physical education of teachers or coaches need to create stimulation, encouraging learning environment and cultivate a positive approach to goal achievement in order to enable players and learn to be easy, experience personal progress (15), and remain interested in playing table tennis (16,17). These are all major factors effectively introducing the Play and Stay tennis program (18), stresses which are rather than strict technical control, good communication, and good communication to get them playing table tennis from the very first lesson.…”

This study aims to develop a learning model of three-dimensional table tennis-based basic drive punch techniques in beginner players, obtain information on the effectiveness of the three-dimensional basis-based learning drive technique models in improving basic skills of beginner player drive punch techniques. This study is research and development using the Borg and Gall (2007) model which consists of ten steps, namely (1) Research and information collection, (2) Planning, (3) Preliminary from of product, (4) Preliminary field testing, (5 ) Main product revision (6) Main field testing, (7) Operation product revision, (8) Operational field testing, (9) Revision product, (10) Dissemination and implementation. The sample in this study was students of the Physical Education and Recreation Education Study Program. The instruments used questionnaires, documentation, tests and assessment sheets. Then the effectiveness test is carried out using a before-after experimental design (one-group pre-test and post-test design). The research result is the compilation of a book on the basic three-dimensional table tennis drive learning technique for beginner players. This product was developed based on evaluation and advice from experts which included three table tennis learning experts, one media expert and two motor experts. The evaluation results of the experts stated that the model developed was suitable for use by novice players. Then the results of the small group trial stated that the product developed could be applied by students but still being improved and needed to be tested in large groups. The results of a large group trial stated that the product developed was able to be carried out well by students without repeated explanation. The results of the effectiveness test showed that drive learning by using a three-dimensional based learning model was significantly better than learning table tennis by using a conventional model to improve the basic technical skills of beginner player drives.
