I personally believe it has more to do with "Free Will" than anything else.
The fact of the matter is most players perform their level because they're comfortable not getting any better. Unless it comes in a pill form it's just too much work and responsibility to play at a higher level. I really don't expect everyone to agree with what I just said, however I know it's true. I experienced this in martial arts, tennis and golf....even when I found out how to reach higher levels "something" held me back
Pool was different for me because I was willing to do whatever it took to be the best and that meant LISTENING to others. This is the key and few of us will ever be willing to do what other people tell us to do.....even when we know, in our "heart of hearts" that it is true. I personally believe it has more to do with "Free Will" than anything else.

Exactly!
I think some people get all fidgety when someone talks about "SECRETS" in pool. Utilizing the word "SECRETS" is just one way to garner someone's attention so that you can share the information that has so far, been "hidden" from them because they haven't been exposed to it.
Everyone, well almost everyone enjoys learning a new SECRET every now and then.
I don't want to waste my time with those that wail and whine that the information isn't a secret and that the information is readily available here or there.
I enjoy sharing the secrets of the professional players when I do commentary and I have to believe that they too, enjoy knowing that someone out there enjoys learning what they believe is information that is not common knowledge.
Sharing that knowledge is fun and if you don't know the information then I am going to call it a SECRET and share it with you. :smile:
