If you were really dedicated and you wanted to become a champion and you had all the time in the world to achieve it how would you do it?
Design your perfect 8 hour practice session if you had the time to actually do it.
-and/or if you are someone who has already done it what was your practice routine? and what would have done differently.
I don't think proper coaching can be expressed enough when it comes to this question.
Thorsten still has the same coach today that opened the door up for him to his local billiards club when he first stepped in.
Shane had his grandfather next to him all the time while growing up.
Jasmine has her coach follow her to tournaments and he takes notes and photographs from the stands, then goes over everything after the match.
There is a common thread with many top players, and it's in the coaching.
If I had all the time and the money, I'd contract out a professional coach and train in the way a boxer trains-trust in my coach and train hard and focused. PAT testing skills daily. Physical workouts are a must.
Until then, you must have a few professional lessons with a coach, and then have the discipline and dedication to become your own coach.
Of course, it's all my humble opinion to advancing in this great sport.
