Build a champion in a month or 2. Is this possible?

I think this would be a really cool reality show. With all the crap on tv nowadays, this would actually be really interesting.

Good luck with this idea. I'm setting up my DVR now to record this on the Travel Channel.

If you've ever been around Gene Albrecht, you know that he would be great for the cameras. He can talk the talk and walk the walk. :grin:
 
What's 4 months of your life and lifetime knowledge worth....

So is it confirmed this road trip is done? A little sad to hear it. I guess the 2 months is up though. Doesn't sound like Zach quite got to champion but he sounds like a heck of a player.

I had the impression you were straight up backing Zach, he didn't have to chip in. Did he come out ahead, after all the costs were tallied up?

What made you decide the next person to do this experiment will need to pony up 30k? Not trying to be a knocker but it comes across like you lost a chunk of change with this adventure and now you want to protect yourself for the next one and maybe recoup your losses.

Isn't the idea that the older player, if he listens to you, will be able to earn enough to cover costs? If the costs are covered, is the 30k strictly for your company and advice? You seem like a cool guy Geno but that's a pretty stiff price to buy a road partner :shocked:

This is what it would take. I would buy another motorhome for about $20,000.

On the road should take care of itself with my lessons and living expenses.
I'm paying for everything.

I would be footing most of the income with the lessons. If a person added up all the stuff for 4 months or 5 months on the road $30,000 would be cheap.

I'm not looking for a partner in fact I prefer to travel by myself.

This would really be an opportunity of a lifetime for the right person. It doesn't matter how they play. They will get there.

Zach might be back someday. He just needed to try another adventure in Australia?

The Zack deal didn't cost me much at all. Just used up some of my time trying to do something that was really tough. If I do it again I need to get paid for it. The money is cheap. The person that might do this probably doesn't care about the money . I don't think there is anyone more qualified to teach someone to play and survive on the road. I've been on the road for 3 out of the last 4 years. The only reason i was not on the road for a year was shoulder surgery and I had a motorhome fall on me.

It would be sweet to have someone that has already made it big in business and knows how to work hard at something. And it should be fun for someone that has been all work and no play for a long time to enter this world of fun and adventure.

Just have to see. Maybe nothing will come of it but I hope so. Would this make a great reality show or what.

With the motorhome I could bring a touring pro along. Someone could have a girl along. Probably not me though. And the guy training to be a champion.

I could see a whole lot of story lines there.

Just this thread on AZ had over 37,000 hits in a couple of months. The first month was hardly any.

It would be good for pool.

Just think of it. Every monday night you could check out whats happening on the road again.

It wouldn't be too hard to make an hour long show every week.

He's got the 8...lol..
If you define a Champion like Earl or SVB, i dont think so...Maybe like a Kim Davenport or Chris Bartrum ..maybe..
Good Luck and enjoy the ride..=))
 
Kim and Chris can play like champions and are champions.

Check out how many major tournys Davenport has won.

Chris could be right up there with the right opportunity.

I'd settle for sure taking an average player and turning them into a Chris or Kim and I think they would like it also.

I thought u had a above average player....average player..maybe my speed in 2 months..:thumbup:
 
How this all started..........

I thought u had a above average player....average player..maybe my speed in 2 months..:thumbup:

One of the teachers on the forum made the comment that I was stretching things by saying that I could build a champion in a month or 2 .

I took it to heart.

I had a little head start with Zach because i taught him Perfect Aim when he was 19. Now he was 23. He was playing low Master speed when i worked with him a year ago.

I thought, so why not bring him on the road and see what we could accomplish.

He was playing high master speed but to get him to do the things neccesary to stay at that level was another thing. He needs more structure in his life. To teach that it would take a long time.

We might continue that journey someday but for now Zach is pursuing a career in hail damage in Australia I think.

I don't want or need to have a player where zach was at because i can get them there real fast. One they can aim the game is very simple.

The aiming that I teach is almost like pool in a box. It just makes it so easy. This has been said over and over again by Perfect Aim customers.

I hope I get a taker on this adventure soon because there will be some pretty amazing stuff happening. Another unknown person will be tearing it up in a short period of time.

This would be a 24/7 job though. it's alot of work.

it would really highlight though the most amazing aiming technique in the world. And I'm just not blowing smoke. You just need to listen to all the players that have learned the system.

Give me a 5 or 6 in APA league and that would be good enough.

That's probably more than enough to start out.

Actually, it would be VERY HARD to make an hour long show every week if you intend to make it a compilation of the week's events. The video pros here can tell you how many hours (weeks) it takes to put together a good solid hour.

My advice would be to shoot a ton of video, keep a running blog like this and put up some raw video each week but at the end of it all spend the time to make a documentary out of it.

I would vote for this thread as one of the most entertaining on AZB even with the "commercials" for Perfect Aim thrown in. THIS is how people should sell on forums if they intend to sell, put up good honest content that people like to read and intersperse the ads.

I don't know if you will find someone to take you up on your mid-life crisis tour (what I call it) but if you do it should be pretty cool.
 
That might be interesting. You would have to know the techniques and be able to bring them out. ;)

I would never be able to say in advance that you were going to use TOI and would only be able to comment after the shot. :wink:

Perfect Aim is also difficult to point out, except when Gene misses a ball (which isn't often) and then he moves in such a radical fashion everyone in the world (that knows Perfect Aim) knows he is really bearing down with the PERFECT AIM technique. :yeah:
 
I know a lot of people would love to be the next guy to travel around with you. I know that I am out because I smoke and I just wouldn't want my information out there. I am much more of a low-profile kind of player. Not sneaky per say just low-profile. I do however have the perfect idea for a motorhome full of girls and playing pool around the country but that would be a different kind of reality show I guess.
 
This is the real deal........

I'm totally honest about this.

I want to do this and I think it would be good for pool that players everywhere could follow how this On the road student is doing.

It will be one of my biggest life accomplishments so i will not take it lightly.

If players talk to Zach or any of the other players I have ever been on the road with, i'm all business but I have fun too.

This will happen, it's just a matter of time.

I already got 2 offers that I'm looking at.

This might come about real soon.

Looking for the right fit for me and for them.............

Mike,
Your idea is made for television and guaranteed automatic success. :smile: Thinking Gene could imitate The World's Most Interesting Man.

Only until someone from the IRS watched and saw all that money changing hands, without paying taxes. Something like the "moonshiners" on Discovery, I am surprised they haven't been shutdown yet. Would be cool to watch though. Have to have a lot of barkin to satisfy the viewers.

When IRS sees "all that money changing hands", they will all just sit around the conference table and each one of them will be doing double face-palms in regards to whoever gave them the heads-up on "all that money". :D

Mike if you're driving near Indianapolis, please pick me up, I'll travel with you and play pool. If I can smoke cigars with you in the motor home and it is really full of girls, if it's okay with you, perhaps we won't play that much pool. LOL
 
Got a call from Zach..........

Sounds like we might be hooking back up.

So if and when I add a person to the team the Zach attack will be there also.

This would be a great addition to anyone learning because Zach has a pool of knowledge:p.

Zach just left me a message but as soon as he can get to where I'm at we'll be back in business.

Looks like soon it will be 2 men a van and the road...........
 
Trying to keep up....

Gene,
This is beginning to sound like that soap opera of long ago, Peyton Place. Let the two men and a van remain a constant.

It's a pain to keep wishing for success when you don't know who the players will be next week. :grin-square:

This thread certainly reads like a soap opera. The goal of the thread was to see if Geno could build a champion in a month or two. :eek:

Zach gets a job offer -- in of all places, Australia. Zach shows his dedication to becoming a road player by saying adios at the first offer he gets. No wait -- something happened and now Zach's coming back to us? The saga continues.
