If people don't want other people asking who is who in a photo, crop them out or don't appear with them when the picture is taken.
That would make way to much sense.
This is my first comment on this subject, as initially I had only a mild curiosity as to who the young lady might be!..To see it blossom into 15 pages of ridicule, cheap shots and crude remarks, has become extremely distasteful to me, and I would hope most others!
In scanning over the thread, I am somewhat shocked to see people I once thought were fairly intelligent, making the most thoughtless, 'off limit' comments!..Shane has always been a polite, and respected popular figure!..Why would anyone see fit to cast aspersions on his gender, or sexual preferences?..Can you see him doing that to any of us?
I too, believe the OP (JohnnyT) was just asking an innocent question, regarding one of our most active pool stars!..To see it morph into 'age discrimination', and all the other negatives, is sickening!....It makes me wonder if I want to remain active on this kind of forum!..Also, I think the mod's have been quite derelict in their duties, for not pulling it long ago!
PS..I must applaud RKC, (who I rarely agree with on anything) for doing an admirable job, in trying to defend Shane and the young lady, from these senseless attacks on their character!

Apparently you didn't read the rest of my post?
..Or any of Fat Alberts either?..He was another one who came to Shanes defense!..Also, you might check out posts # 28 and 33 ! 
PS...I see several of the worst offenders have either edited, or deleted their posts!..Good move on their part!...My work is done here!

They seem like a great couple though and that makes for a totally different scenario.
I believe it was once recommended that Shane could use more balance in his life in order to quit clinging to the need to win in world events. Something to the effect of It's one thing to want to win but needing to win is bad when it counts. A recent example of how this girl has helped imo is this... In order to come back from 6-0 on Jayson Shaw you have to know that you gonna be ok if you lose while still maintaining that strong desire to win. If you NEED to win in that situation then that's a lot of pressure to play under. This girl brings the balance to Shane or as SJD calls him Shawn. And she's hot!
This girl is not a hinderance but instead an addition to Shane's ability and will be great for him imo. Look out world! The world has been broke down and Shane will not bow!

Perhaps we'll see a world championship in his very near future.
First off Arete, there's a sticky here that asks for all new members to introduce themselves to the other members. A howdy-do, if you will.
So, howdy-do, and welcome to the forum.
Second, all women are hindrances. If you don't believe me, ask all the married guys.
If they haven't got their yapper going a hundred miles-an-hour, they're pouting.
I'd probably catch hell for saying this, but our girls left town a long time ago. :smile:
There's something to be said about doing something, sometimes even against great odds, that can be inspired by someone else. Strength can be drawn from a simple rub on the back in a way that let's you know I'm here, or even as simple as a look from a person you can draw strength from at the moment you need it....and that person is there to draw confidence from. If this young lady is Shane's rock to draw that strength from, to calm his nerves when he needs to bear down and stay focused, then I'm truly happy for Shane, he's a great, we'll mannered young man, and very respectful to boot. It's clear to me that Sierra wasn't a distraction to Shane....but rather his secret power!

Motivation is extremely important in life.
Here are a couple of formulas to consider.
What equals the amount of motivation? This is not exact but basically it is...
Your Motivation = Your positive outcome expectation x The value you see in doing it
In other words if you want to do something and on a scale of 0-10 you rate a 7 on your positive outcome belief (it's possible) and a 3 on the value you see in it (your desire) then your motivation level = 21 (not too motivated)
What if you had a cut shot in pool and you need stop shot position? Are you going to be motivated to shoot it? No because expectation is 0 x value of 10 = 0 motivation. You with me so far?
Now let's talk about effort because the effort you give is directly related to your motivation. In talking about effort let's focus on the task of winning the U.S. Open.
I said earlier that motivation is important. It is important because effort is important. Effort is important because when it comes to a task like winning the US open Effort counts twice. The formula goes like this.
Talent x effort = skill
And
Skill x effort = performance
Let's look at skill development first. A guy like Shane has talent and he has strong motivation to put in the effort of lots of quality and focused practice.
Shane's breakdown for skill development: talent (10) x belief (10) x desire (10) = top notch skill development
Now for part 2
Remember performance = skill x effort? Well his skill is a 10 and at first glance his effort in the performance area would seem to be a 10 too but I'm about to explain the most important message in all of this post. Not all motivation and effort are equal.
Remember motivation = expectation x value? A KEY FACTOR THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IS DEPENDANT ON THE VALUE. Is that value pure or is it tainted? What I mean is is it intrinsic or extrinsic? It makes a world of difference. Shane has plenty of intrinsic value in playing pool. He can practice for days, weeks, months, and years simply for the love of the game and self actualization. In a competition, when one can draw upon that instrinsic value then the motivation is pure and the effort given is strong. When coupled with strong skill like Shane has then the performance is on point.
What about a poor performance? It could be from poor effort. What created poor effort when the guy believed in himself and he really wanted to win? Lot's of times I t comes back to the value. Extrinsic motivation. If your desire to win comes from a need to collect titles, or be recognized for achievements, or basically when it comes down to it win the approval of others then your motivation is corrupt. This corrupt motivation can lead you to put in the hours to practice and develop the skill but when it comes to performance the corrupt motivation leads to things like trying too hard and choking etc. What it leads to is poor effort. So the equation looks like this. Skill 10 x Effort 7 equals 70. Remember the effort, on the surface, feels like a 10 because you are trying to win so hard but when it comes to performance effort is not about quantity but quality. That "zone state" of optimal effort is paradoxically effortless.
Shane, as I said before has tremendous intrinsic value in pool. He is also human and as all of us he at times let's the extrinsic value get the best of him. When pool is your life that is understandable. He has said things before about moving on from pool. That's not necessary imo. Just a little more balance in life is all that is needed and maybe this girl is perfect for that.
