The document of our pool related road trip across the U.S. updated daily

A C or B "road player" would be under water before 2 weeks on the road.She is lucky to have GENE guide her and protect her from herself and others.
 
The way I see it, you either got it or you don't. Cus D'amato didn't train a nobody when he got ahold of Tyson. My father always said " you can't shine shit". And to this day that remains true.

This whole road trip thing is only possible from the money he gets from lessons. When the lessons dry up the road trip ends quickly. Johnnyt
 
Rhea threw everything she had into this too. I hope when all her car insurance money and pay checks dry up it doesn't end.
 
Be a cold day in hell when I pay for someone to tell me what to eat, if I can go to a pool hall at the open, etx etc. you don't have to give up all the control in your life to learn how to become a good pool player.

You're right, you don't have to give up control to become a good player but if you put yourself into a coach/student relationship then you SHOULD give up a lot to get as much knowledge as possible.

In my opinion if someone really wants to get better and they have the opportunity then they should empty their cup.
 
Many "champions" do get pretty independent when they reach their crest, often arrogant, and that's usually the beginning of the end. But very few, if anyl, would ever get to the champion stage without being what you are calling totally "submissive" to their coaches.

Have known a few people who trained at Bollettieri Tennis Program, ain't easy. They tell you what, how, when, to eat, exercise, study, and sleep. Same with boxers, remember "Million Dollar Baby", and the cadets at West Point. Even professional coaches raking percentages from what their pros earn will cease coaching an athlete if they do not adhere to their training routine, it's not submissiveness, it's called discipline and respect, and without those qualities success is very elusive.

BINGO. Good Post. Spot On :)
 
If a person wants something bad enuff, they will make the necessary sacrifices to achieve
their goal.

I don't see this as being submissive. The word Submissive has a totally different meaning than the words Self Sacrifice.

Your goals would be achieved by two different standards.

It was nice that Rhea turned over approx $1400 to Gene but in reality, how far is one going to get on that kind of road money. Not far unless someone was managing it for you.

We got a race horse pawing the ground at the starting gate and Gene needs to settle it down until the time is proper.

Either that or he can say Gene's way or the Highway.
 
Rhea threw everything she had into this too. I hope when all her car insurance money and pay checks dry up it doesn't end.

Realistically, it will end if she can't pull her own weight on the road.

It's sad and not what anybody would like to see, but the reality is they face a harsh existence out there. It can end any moment. That will probably be for her best anyway. She has a future and a whole life ahead of her.

One cold fact is its hard to be a road player when your posting the guys name your about to supposedly rob. No offense but like stated before the lessons are paying the way. I spent years on the road with Richie Rich and JHall and I don't remember posting on here about playing 10 ahead for 10 $.

I wish you the best at getting better rhea but you have to be in the frying pan if your gona see if you cook or not. Just because you can play a little don't mean you won't fold like an aluminum foil lawn chair when the bet gets right.
 
Earn while you learn!

I don't know how all you people equate submissiveness with being a champion. Champions don't have to get permission to play the ghost.

Champions make decisions and have confidence.

Like svb ever went through this or any other top player. It's because you look at rhea like a woman.

Number 1, Rhea isn't a champion.

Number 2, Rhea has a lot to learn about surviving on the road.

Number 3, Gene has Rhea's best interest at heart.

You seem to want to bring some feminist resentment or at least some angst into this relationship and there is no need for it. Rhea needs to learn how to survive on the road and I'm sure Gene wants Rhea to improve her level of play, but more importantly, she has to learn how to manage and make more money than she is spending.

Your right there Mr Pete,,,,,

Man there's a lot of input on Rheas document of her road trip :rolleyes:

Many players out there have taken road trips and have experienced many of the things that Rhea and myself have done,

many have not.

The input of the have nots is pretty important also because it rweally gives them an insight on how things really are out here.

Some of the input is really off the wall and wouldn't work out here but some is spot on.

I'm sure the spot on is from players that have either been out here or they are pretty sharp cookies and would succeed at almost anuthing.

Anyway, I think it is great.

Got contacted today about making this into some kind of reality show. I might even bring Zack back into the picture for that. He would be a great character to have on the screen.

If I can get this off the ground I think it would be great for pool.

Plus it would be tons of fun.

Rhea is such a character. Everyone would just love her almost rediculous honesty.

She tells everyone everything. I have to tell her.


SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH all the time.

Thos duck guys wouldn't have nothin over on us and we would have about 2 million viewers almost instantly.

4 million after a week or 2.

Looking for more offers.

First one was kind of a surprise but a second option would be sweet.

One man a van and a girl.........

This is getting to be too much. I'm wondering if you and Ray are even in reality. All those meds you's are taking are making you's loopy. It's funny though. If that's what you want to leave as your legacy, so be it. Hahaha
 
My mentor snapped off the tournament tonight, hes in bed resting up for the big qualifier tomorrow. I got some side action but it wasn't with the person I originally planned to play, although he showed up he didn't feel like playing against me. So I played the kid that won 2nd place at the tournament instead. We only played for $5 per rack and at the end of 25 mins or so I was only up 2 racks of 9 ball before he threw in the towel. We got half the calcutta as well :)
