I get a laugh out of it every time someone mentions, the "Future of pool rest on being able to get the youth involved"! I wonder how many parents out there are really telling their kids....."son/daughter.....you just have to learn how to play pool....the future of this game we love so much....rests upon YOUR sholders!!!! Or, if they're more like I was with my kids...."if you kids think you're going to play pool for a living when you grow up, you have no idea what in the hell you're in for. Let me tell you something, all of you kids....you'll make more money and a better living if you just apply for a job working at McDonalds than you will trying to be a pool player....so if any of you want to play pool for a living.....you can get the hell out of my house tomorrow and take your chances trying to supports yourselves doing anything you can.....because that's how much of a chance you'll have trying to make it through life as a pool player!!! Now if they came at me with dreams of playing golf, tennis, football, basketball....hell, even boxing....I might be open to their idea.....at least enough to listen. So, to even have a cold chance in hell of attracting the youth of the future to keep this sport going....then SOMEONE needs to figure out HOW to pay the Professional pool players TODAY.....not TOMORROW....because there won't be a tomorrow if Pros can't make a living playing this game today....or tomorrow!
