I am a qualified 1st4|Sport Level 2 WPBSA (World Professional Billiard and Snooker Association) coach.
Whether you are young or old, a beginner, amateur or professional, I provide high quality one to one coaching.
A little bit about me...
I have been Lead Coach at Cue Zone at the World Championship in Sheffield and also the UK Championship in York. I have also coached at Cue Zones at the English Open in Manchester,the Champion of Champions in Coventry, the World Grand Prix in Llandudno and the Players' Championship at the Guild Hall Preston.
I work regularly with WDBS (World Disability Billiards and Snooker), offering coaching during open days at their events around the country.
I also work for Matchroom Sport events including the World 9-Ball Pool Championship in Leicester and the Champion of Champions at the Ricoh Arena.
I'm based near Shrewsbury in Shropshire, and cover Cheshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Mid Wales. However, I also travel across the UK for private coaching.
I also currently coach from my own private snooker room, based in Shropshire.
Why I love coaching...
I have been playing snooker socially since I was 10 years old, I had always had a reasonable amount of success but had never really progressed any further.
Looking to improve my game, I contacted 1979 World Snooker Champion Terry Griffiths for a coaching session. It was a real surprise to me how much progress I made in just one session, there were so many little mistakes I was making that I hadn't realised were hampering my game. At the end of the session, Terry gave me some routines to practice to further my progress. Over the following weeks I saw my average breaks go from 10 to 20, upwards into the 50s and 60s.
It was at this point I understood the impact a good coach can have on a player's game and became interested in researching different coaching techniques to further improve my own game. This lead me eventually to decide to become a qualified level 2 coach with the WPBSA's course, led by Steve Davis.
Since then, the course itself has been updated by 1st 4 Sport, to include a broader, more in depth curriculum. I have also passed this to become a qualified 1st 4 sport WPSBA Level 2 snooker coach.
I have continued to add to my experience; keeping up to date with the latest techniques as well as discovering, through research, some gems of knowledge from coaching of the past.
