Andreas Huber -
World Billiard Champion's Coach |
 |
In this exciting edition, I am proud to welcome German National Billiard Coach Andreas Huber.
Andreas, having reached the highest grade possible in German Coaching Certification, applied this skill to his passion - American Pool and Billiard - eventually seeing his coaching system officially endorsed by the World Pool Association, to add to the work he was already doing with billiard world champions past and present.
Here, we talk about THE question in pool, the most important sentence for trainers worldwide, and the best feeling in the world.
We discuss the physics of Pool Billiard, how not to fall down, verbal flowers, chess on a tightrope and the only time to fall down to your knees.
Finally, we see the relationship of Zen Buddhism and the Japanese Tea Ceremony to Pool, how the game is a mirror and a lens to life, the struggle to gain recognition as a coach, and where the key is to see it, hear it, feel it and do it.
Confirming the purpose of life rounds off our discussion, and I know the enthusiasm from our coach of champions today will be picked up by you to apply to whatever is your purpose in life.
Enjoy the next hour, and listen time and time again to ingrain the wisdom of one of the most insightful and passionate coaches of our generation. |

Doug Gordon -
BBC
TV Snooker Coach |
 |
'Lucky' Doug Gordon, at least that's what some his friends call him, as, in the early 90's, Doug was due to travel back to the UK by ferry, delayed his trip one day to chase an unpaid bill and saw that the boat he missed was the Zeebrugge ferry that sank, killing nearly everyone on board.
We discuss the meaning of this experience to his overall life, as well as how to use the power of thought alone to achieve goals, create parking spaces and delay aeroplanes for Bob Meucci.
You will hear anecdotes about American Pool legend Efren Bata Reyes, Doug's BBC TV featured snooker coaching system as well as his desire to promote his sport.
Also covered are technical secrets to cue sports, Doug's aspirations in life, the velvet glove covering his iron fist and the philosophy of coaching to round off this highly informative interview…
Other Achievements:
Has taught 2,000 people to play snooker.
Spent 25 years in cue sports.
Chairman of the UK Pro 9 Ball Tour.
Analysed most of the top minds in the sport. |

Frank Adamson -
World Snooker Champion's Coach |
 |
I would like to welcome Frank Adamson of Bristol.
"Frank has been instrumental in my own game and career as a coach.
I first met Frank back in 1993, when I was 23. From our first meeting I knew he was a man I could trust completely
- not only in day to day life but also as someone who woudl not put their own opinions above my own welfare as a player.
I see too many coaches in the game who would rather be right than really get in touch with what can help the player, and Frank is certainly not one of these individuals.
Of course, his depth of knowledge about the game is without parallel, but it is also Frank's knowledge and experience as a coach that I really wanted to tap into at the beginning of my international coaching career in 1999.
We met and spoke whenever we could, and it with Frank's help that I gained an unshakeable confidence in my own ability to coach any player of any standard to get the result they want or solve the problem they have.
I regard Frank as not only a close friend and 'father-figure', but also someone who has shaped my life definitely for the positive."
Nic Barrow
Frank has coached hundreds of players in his thirty year coaching career. From beginners to a world champion, from club players to top amateurs, Frank has taught them all. He received a glowing testimonial in the latest book from Ronnie O'Sullivan, who simply stated that he wouldn't have won six tournaments in his World Championship year without Frank.
From his private practice in Bristol that operates by waiting list, Frank also trains other coaches and is bound to be a positive influence on anyone who has the chance to see him.
We discuss everything from the basics of technique and concentration, through to the preparation a player requires for a match, a season and a career.
The interview is bound to answer many questions, leaving you with thorough knowledge, honed through decades of experience, on all the main areas of the game.
Ronnie O'Sullivan's testimonial about Frank Adamson:
"Without him, I don't think I would have won the World Championship and certainly wouldn't have won six tournaments in the same season."

She holds the record of six Under 18 US singles titles, Twelve US Women's singles, ten US Women's doubles, ten All England Singles and seven All England Doubles titles.

She is inducted in the Helms National Badminton Hall of Fame, the International Badminton Hall of Fame and, in a celebration at New York's Waldorf Astoria. on 16th October 1995, became the first woman badminton player to be inducted into the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame In coaching, Judy has lectured Internationally, written for The Sunday Times & The Sunday Telegraph, authored three books on badminton and took part in BBC TV's "Better Badminton" instructional series.
She published a National Tennis Awards scheme in 1989, and was England Team Manager and Coach in 1976/7, leading them to the European Championships that year.
Her Badminton clinic saw its 15,000th pupil in 1995. During the interview we learn how much, when learning the game, she wanted to beat her sister's friends, but couldn't imagine doing so. We talk about how strategy can change during play, how to make a perfect technique automatic and why you cannot play without missing.
We discuss why an easy win can be exhausting, what the commentators don't know and the ideal form of practice. We round off the interview learning of her pre-match nerves, the sound of the perfect strike and the big let down of being no'1 in the world, before talking about her goals and aspirations during retirement.
I hope you enjoy the interview, and can use the principles learned here into your own life and times.

Michael Ferreira -
Billiards Legend |
 |
In this fantastically comprehensive interview, I had the chance to hear a lot about the early life and formative experiences of this Billiards legend that I grew up respecting so much.
We then move into a totally frank discussion about the deepest fundamental principles in life and cue sports, reviewing the highlights of Michael's glittering career into the bargain.
His courage in refusing the highest sporting award India has to offer can only be likened to Muhammad Ali throwing his Olympic Gold medal into a river, and we get to see up close the fire in the eye of this born and bred billiards tiger.
Other Achievements:
In a 40 year playing career, Michael has achieved the following:
Three time world amateur champion.
One time world open champion.
Seven times Indian national champion.
Three time Indian sportsman of the year.
Guiness Booke of Records record holder for 1,149 break.
World record of 498 unfinished in a half hour match.
Government appointed Observer for Cue Sports for India.
Was awarded India's highly prestigious Padma Shree civic award, and promptly refused it.
Was later awarded the much higher civic award of Padma Bhushan. |

Mike Russell -
English Billiards Legend |
 |
I am very honoured today to bring you an interview with Billiards great Mike Russell.
Five times World Professional Champion, including being history's youngest ever world title holder at the age of twenty, Mike has also twice won the IBSF World Open and a total of 36 Professional titles.
With a highest match break of 957, Mike has recorded 27 other breaks over 1,000 including a personal best of 2,081, in addition to the perfect break of 147 in snooker.
During our time together we cover subjects ranging from the influence of Mike's father and other key figures on his career.
We delve into the ideal distractions from the distractions in play, and the goal of freedom from positive and negative thoughts when at the table.
We hear about the hundreds of note-books Mike has written to keep on top of his game, which type of legs he prefers to look at and how fellow professional Peter Gilchrist made him cry as a 13 year old.
We discover how his greatest strength is also his greatest weakness, the definition of perfect timing and how one can best deal with pressure.
To finish off, we cover how you can create your own luck, where Mike still wants to improve his game and the downsides of worldly success.
Please enjoy the talk, and I hope you can learn as much from the next hour as I have. |
