I actually saw in DCC at 14.1 challenge room that Johan was training Fedor's thinking. After Fedor ran rack Johan questioned his patterns and over and over again tell Fedor to use his brain..
He was telling Fedor that he ran racks wrong and only run them because super shotmaking. You might have this one wrong..
The success of a great athlete has many fathers. But the biggest is themselves. They have to have the proper drive, motivation, dedication, mental toughness, and so forth. Not to mention the physical ability. That is where it all starts.
The next is the training they receive and the quality of teachers they have.
The final developer is experience. Against other top players and in different situations,
Gorst’s success stems from all three. He has the inner drive. He had good foundations in Russia. He sought out the best teachers like Johan. And he has learned from his experience, especially playing bank pool and one pocket in the U.S. (Same with Filler).
Johan can only be with him a few times a year, and Johan has taught many a player in America and Europe. Very few of them play like Gorst.
