Coaching: Some Food for Thought
Errors in your performance when playing snooker or pool usually takes place in your mind before they express themselves in action. Our brain is in constant dialogue which can create limitations or inner obstacles to perform to our best. These can include lack of self confidence, fear, trying too hard, frustration, anger, boredom, expectations, self condemnation.
First thing first... is trusting your body.
Self 1 constantly tells Self 2 everything there is to know about pool - how to cue, stand, etc. Self 2 is the silent doer. And yet Self 1 does not trust Self 2 very much and takes things into it's own hands - like moving the body on the shot, tensing up and making things happen how it thinks it should. Since all the fluidity and timing is gone by now, you usually mis-hit the shot and Self 1 gets more of a chance to degrade Self 2. The first skill for our mind will be "letting it happen".
More tips next week.
Cheers, Theresa
(Head Coach ACTEBA)

Results: 2010 Winter Round 8
Hi all,
Firstly, an update on the 9 ball competitions coming up. It will be played at the Maram on the weekend of the 11th and 12th of September, with the Open event on the Saturday and the Ladies event on the Sunday. Start times will be confirmed when we finalise entry numbers (I'll advise with next week's results).
Open 9 Ball - 64 player draw double elimination - 40 entries to date - 21 spots remain open
Ladies 9 Ball - 8 or 16 player draw (depending on numbers) double elimination - 8 entries to date
Late entries are welcome, until the remaining spots are filled, but you must contact either Chris Jones (0403 545 619) or myself (0438 214 008) before 8pm Wednesday 8th. We will let you pay the fees ($15) on the day, but you won't be allowed to play if you have not paid. All players must check in with the adjudicator upon arrival to complete the random draw. All seeds for the Open event (8 of 'em) receive a bye in round one where possible, depending on entries.
And now, for the results... Continue reading "Results: 2010 Winter Round 8" »

2010 9 Ball Championships
The 2010 9 Ball Championships will be held on the weekend of 11/12 September at The Maram. We still have 25 places remaining in the 64 player draw for the Opens on Saturday 11, as well as 8 places remaining in the 16 player draw for the Ladies on Sunday 12.
The format is double elimination and the entry fee is $15 so you will get at least two matches of a race to 5 for your entry fee. Who knows, it's nine ball not eight ball so you might even knock off a big name...
Please contact me on 0403 545 619 before Friday 10th if you wish to enter. Note that NO player will be entered without paying the entry fee prior to commencement of play.
Start times will be confirmed in the next few days.
Regards
Chris Jones
