I'm Going To Do It

Good luck with your lessons. I am emailing Randy G. right now to reserve my lessons in a couple weeks.

well, i assume it will be ok for me to ask Scott some questions, such as the following:

1) Do you think my side pockets are spitting balls out more than normal?
2) Can you critique my long, straight-in draw shot? help me to see why i struggle so much with it?
3) Can you watch me hit some break shots, and perhaps make some recommendations?
4) How can i get over this mindset of "Oh Shit, i am afraid i'll miss this shot" or i will "Blow this runout"

DCP

DCP;

2, 3 and 4 will absolutely be addressed. Accept the answer and work on it.

No. 1. Question is nonsense, although 2 or 4, may be affecting that shot also.

Most importantly, do the drills for the proper length of time and repetitions.

AND, don't overdue it.

Good Luck, Scott is great...............

That's funny, I have a lesson scheduled with him the day after tomorrow.

I've had a lesson with him before and at first I was overwelmed with everything he was telling me, but after watching the video, it all made total sense.

Like everyone else said, just let him do his thing.

Oh, and have fun! :D

Those questions are good. The answer to each of them will come from what Scott shows you, EVEN THOUGH YOU WON'T KNOW IT AT THE TIME.

1. Pocket size opinion isn't important to the guy you're paying to teach you pool.

2. The draw shot cannot be done properly if other stuff isn't first done properly. Scott will give you the other stuff first.

3. The break shot...see answer #2

4. Confindence comes from doing...doing what?...you'll find out....IF you choose.

How about letting the results answer those questions, rather that have some guy just tell you something?

Note: When I said, shut up in an earlier post, I didn't mean that you talk too much, something I can't possibly know. It sounded a little harsh when I reread it and wanted to clarify it so you didn't think me an azz.

The best advice is to forget everything you think you know about pool, and listen to Scott. Ask questions if they are related to what is being taught. Let him guide you through the lesson. Pay attention. Apply what you learn from him. Remember, you are paying him to teach you what he knows. Get your money's worth!
An open mind and a disgarded ego are the two best things you can bring to the lesson.

Great advice.

DCP, write down any questions you think you have. If you still think that you need to ask them at the end of the lesson, that is the time to ask.

After this lesson will you change your name to ScottLee'sProtege?

In a word...NO! I own the exclusive rights to my own name!:D

To DCP...You have asked me what the lesson will be like, and I told you. You have asked EVERYONE here on AzB what the lesson will be like, and they told you. My advice is to relax and listen to us. I am NOT a miracle worker. I cannot make you a better pool player. Only YOU can take the information and apply it correctly. There seems to be a lot of hoopla surrounding this upcoming lesson. Forget about it, and just take it as it comes. Either it will work for you...or it won't! Only you can be the judge...:D

i am going to keep my eyes and ears peeled. i am going to consume all the info and wisdom that radiates from you. then i am going to watch and re-watch the dvd of the lesson. i am going to practice and apply the principles, ideas, and routines that you share with me and bestow upon me. i am putting myself into your hands, eager and willing to listen and learn.

i know all the AZ Posters here cant wait to see how this lesson goes, its perhaps one of the most talked about events ever here on this forum.

DCP

p.s. unless you put me in a stance that is so ridiculous that it hurts me just to stand that way..........

Bigger than Efren at Derby City. Bigger than Yang vs. Orcullo. Bigger than Bowman vs. Incardona. Bigger than anything else in the Pool world.

It's "THE LESSON" by DCP, co-starring Scott Lee in a minor role. With walk-ons by Randy G. and others.

With Jay's marketing and public relations acumen :eek: , I just know that Jay's new book on Shanelle will be a best seller. :) :p

You do realize you'll need to take a year off from posting while you practice what you've been taught?

as soon as Scott leaves i am going to run upstairs to my computer and post all the things he learned during his lesson..........;)

Like a movie.....

Have you ever watched a movie several times? Were you able to pick up new things in scenes each time you saw it? Learning and lessons are similar. You will not pick up everything the first time. It takes repetition and time for the details to sink in. Enjoy you lesson, Scott;) ;)
 
after tonight, i need to pack something. perhaps i should just pack it in, take two weeks off, then quit.

its amazing to me how horrible i am sometimes..........:(

Good luck Scott Lee. Your toughest challenge yet. If you make a player out of DrCue's you will have proved yourself worthy!
LOLz...he may have a serious uphill battle...

Another email from one of my favorites...

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 7/10/07 - "Effective vs. Efficient"

Have you ever thought about the difference between efficiency and
effectiveness? They both sound good, but I believe one is far better. Most
businesses want to run an efficient operation, and spend a lot of time and
energy trying to get there. But it is equally, if not more, important to
make your business effective.

Efficiency means doing things with a minimum of effort - low input for high
output. In other words, efficiency means doing things right. But what
things? A very important question! You see, effectiveness is doing the right
things right, and that is what you want to aim for. You can be as efficient
as the dickens at doing the wrong things.

You can practice the wrong technique or the wrong moves until you have them
down perfectly. Then, you are going to wonder and worry about why your
business is failing, why your customers aren't coming back, why sales are
down and profits are dropping, even though everything is working like a
well-oiled machine.

When you visualize yourself or your business, don't just see yourself doing
things right. See yourself doing the right things right. And remember that
sometimes the right thing, even if done imperfectly, can beat the heck out
of a flawless performance of the wrong thing. This holds true for everyone,
not just those of you in business. It makes just as much sense for athletes,
homemakers, teachers and students - anyone who really cares about
excellence.

It's great to be efficient, but effectiveness is what you really want.
