When You Play Every Week but Feel That Improvement Has Stopped
Your playing time may have increased without feedback on weaknesses or adjustment of the difficulty.
Start with this check
Repeating comfortable rallies against familiar opponents can stabilize performance without sufficiently challenging new skills and decision-making.
Try these steps in order
- Use video and records to identify the past month's error patterns and the score situations in which they occurred.
- Set a measurable target and progressively increasing difficulty for one weakness.
- Check transfer in sequence from a cooperative drill to a random drill, a constraint game, and a full match.
Bottom line
Breaking a plateau is less about playing longer than accurately choosing a weakness and carrying progressive difficulty into match play.
