I wanted to share something that I received today. It's not about "tooting my own horn", but more about the joy that comes from teachers sharing their love of knowledge to eager students. There is not a teacher alive (teaching anything) who is not overjoyed when "the light goes on" for a student...or in other words, they "get it"! For pool instructors, I can say with perfect honesty, that it is my intention to help someone achieve whatever goals they want to set for themselves, concerning their pool game. Yes, I work with many students who play way under my "speed". But I also work with many players (including pros) who play far above my speed. It is not about receiving "accolades", or getting "smoke blown up my skirt"! It is about the joy that comes from helping someone learn something that helps them, in some way, to be better...a better poolplayer, a better citizen, a better man/woman. To me, that's what being a teacher is all about. I hope you enjoy...

I know that you probably hear this all the time, but I just had to express my thanks to you for offering your instruction on developing and maintaining a proper and repeatable stroke. Since my lesson, I have worked about an hour per day on the mother drills and the SAM - a little over a month. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with the results from this minimal investment. Playing the ghost really does not provide the wow factor that just smacks you in the face. Yes, I have seen slow but steady improvement there. However, the real proof is in playing a higher skilled opponent as my close friend is. We play straight pool to 150 and he regularly beats me by scores of 150 - 60 on average. Well, last night he still won the match but the score was 150 - 133 and I had a legitimate chance of victory. My confidence has never been higher because I now understand the real WHY behind playing pool well. It's the stroke! Thank you Mr. Scott Lee! That day I had my lesson with you is the day my pool game was born.
