Holland and Mosconi-Cup coach Johan Ruijssink and multiple European Champion and 200+ runner Alex Lely have been wanting to organise trainingcamps with focus on specific elements of the game, instead of a general Bootcamp: safeties/kicks, pattern-play, practice methods etc. especially straight-pool since we have focused on that a lot with the dutch team in the past 10 years and thus have a lot of experience
Now with the succes of Holland in the WC's it might be a good time to propagate our motivation to work with a group of dedicated players that want to elevate their straight-pool to a higher level. A camp would combine theory/analysis and of course a lot of sparring, providing a basis for all other poolgames as well. monotone concentration, excellent tip-position, clever pattern-play, responding well after receiving seat-treatment for 10, 20, 60 minutes, awareness and controlling of state of mind during an inning.
Participants of our camps have, without an exception, expressed their enthusiasm and appreciation. It's always a tough five days, where we expect a lot of energy from them, it renders though. Our input, but also the collective effort and the support that players give each other.
stating that their succes is due to their own talent and disciplin, we do want to mention that Ruslan Chinakhov and Stephane Cohen have won gold at the last European Championships in straight-pool and 9-ball respectively, after having participated in a bootcamp in Moscow, Russia and Deurne, Holland respectively. They feel that the hard work has contributed to their latest succes.
