Allison Fisher=Class

Allison Fisher is not only an amazing player but a true professional on and off the table. She's like the Roger Federer of the WPBA.
 
Did anyone else that was at Borderline Billiards or watching the stream yesturday notice Allison Fisher after a match that she won by 7-1 take time after it to give the girl she beat tips on her game for a few minutes? I'm almost positive that's what she was doing. If that wasn't what she was doing, she still has enough class for the whole tour and the WPBA tour has a lot of class acts including Anne from their business office. Johnnyt

This is me blushing! Johnny thank you for your kind words :)

As for Allison, she's a fantastic lady who, along with so many others in our Membership, represents our tour and sport so well.

Practice hard, play harder !

This kind of teaching mentality is a fairly common occurrence with the WPBA gals. I don't mean to say that we will stop after a WPBA match and give out pointers...but watch closely during pro-ams or challenge matches...and you will see this all the time. It is pretty easy to tell when we are teamed with or matched up against an aspiring professional (versus someone who just likes to play)...and 99% of the time, we will stop and teach those gals something that will help them.

It's just one of the many reasons that I am proud to be associated with the WPBA and its players. They are all class acts.

ALL class acts? I'm sure there is at least one bad apple in the bunch. There always is:smile: Johnnyt
 
I'm glad to see this thread. We in the billiard world are fortunate to have Allison Fisher in our midst. Not only is she a great player (the best woman player of all time), but she is a exceptional human being, who carries herself with grace and dignity always. I feel fortunate to call her my friend and a dear friend she is, full of humor and charm, not to mention she remains humble in spite of her remarkable achievements.

Allison deserves all the accolades that are bestowed on her and then some. She is a genuinely sincere and caring individual who serves as a role model for all the other women players to emulate. Plus she is an intelligent advocate for women's pool who communicates well on any issues that arise affecting the WPBA. When her playing days are over, the WPBA would do well to make her their Commissioner.


Jay said it all! I concur strongly.
