5 steps of play with a new partner

1) Attraction.

Usually it happens when you play against a someone, and you understand that it's hard to resist. Or you look at his match as a viewer. Usually you are attracted to something specific: a strong smash, great serve or good feeling of the ball. And then you think that it would be nice to play together.

2) Uncertainty.

At one of the tournaments you train on the same court and decide to play together some sets. Everything goes good. Feeling of the partner, freedom in the game, everything. You win against strong players and happy with each other after training. The idea to play together is becoming real. But the question is: when and where?

3) Crisis.

And here you finally agree to play the tournament together. On the wings of dreams you fly to a final destination, imagine how you break all opponents. Register, make a payment, go to the training... And then you understand – that’s all! Partner took your balls, throws when need a smash and others stuff. Everything is bad! And then you start to panic.

Crisis

4) Compromise.

This is the phase where you realize that the tournament has started, and you need to play well, no matter what. And then you try to become a team: discuss possible combinations, try to fit to partner. From match to match, you learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of a player and get used to each other.

Compromise

5) Break or spiritual closeness.

When you pass all 4 previous stages you start to think about your future together. You might decide to continue the journey together and become a pair of No. 1. But if the tournament results are not so good, you just throw away the negative thoughts, and continue to search for your ideal partner.
