Hoppo Pool & Coaching

Practising what I preach is paying off…📈❤️🏆

Not put much about my actual game recently due to some changes in circumstances, but a great feeling to be hitting the ball well again! And at my home amazing club in Club Baize.

Wanted to explain my thoughts from my W last night: ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Weirdly, not been on the table much, I felt I wasn’t getting the outcome relating to the practise I was putting in - for me it felt I was ‘over practising’ or ‘forcing’ the meaning too much as though I MUST be getting results or be performing well because of it.

Over last few weeks coaching, I’ve really been focusing mostly on players mentality, a common denominator is ‘how much’ it means to each player to play well! It’s as though missing should never happen or we fear missing so much.

This is where I felt I have put into practise that feeling of really ‘not caring’ as such but mainly just completely detaching from this importance I put on myself to perform well constantly. Simply put, just letting the game pan out how it’s suppose to and controlling the only variable I can ➡️ what can “I DO” to give myself the best chance.

Last night, even though just a flyer event, was the most free on the table I have been and it showed in the results I felt, taking 20 frames and only losing 4 in the whole event.

So if this is something you’re struggling with:

◾️Mentality around missing
◾️Over-trying
◾️Temperament when missing
◾️Getting ahead of the game and ‘losing / winning before it’s even happened
◾️Opponent getting the run

Pull back and ask yourself, does it really matter all that much?

Take a step-back and realise, your best pool will come from a more calmer, confident and relaxed self.❤️

Lastly, thankyou for the amazing people who back me on this journey:

Unreal day today, 4 Hours of straight 1to1’s & then Hoppo Pool Coaching’s Club Baize U16’s Academy.😅

Started off with a new-player which was a fantastic session.🤝

Following on with Evie Thompson who today broke-dished me for the first time, brilliant getting beat by my own students now…😂 but no, again a testament to the improvement she’s making weekly.📈

Then with my sponsored player The 8 ball Ronnie Rocket who always brings top-class pool. Going through some details with cue-action, escaping snookers & positional play.⚡️

Then finished off with a TOP night with the Club Baize Pool U16’s Academy, welcoming 2 new players to the group and growing nicely with a solid 5 players enjoying their pool!👏

Stayed at the end for an hour practise myself, making sure I am practising what I preach…📊

Amazing night and pools only on the way up at Club Baize.❤️

Thanks again everyone for your top effort in the sessions!🙏

What a moment for my amazing student Evie Thompson who yesterday marked her first competitive clearance off the break.🙌🎱

She only went and did this playing for South Yorkshire Women’s team also! Which playing in 1-frame pool & team-pressure is even harder!🤯

Class mate, your progress over the months has been outstanding, turn up weekly for a 1to1 session and always gives everything.🤝

Only a few months back stringing 2 pots together was tough, but now you’re clearing a full table in representing your county in a competitive environment. Class.🏆

Very proud.🙌
