The results show that the average value of pretest 18.74 and posttest average 21.00. To determine its significance level, this study compared t count and t value in the table. The result was t count = = -5.888, df = 41 and significance values = 0.00 <0.05. It means that there were significant differences concerning forehand smash skill before and after athlete used the training model.
