Jeff's Pool School

I'm helping my mentor, Randy Goettlicher, this week at the ACS Nationals, giving short lessons / stroke touchups, etc. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the week.

This young man is an inspiration to me, and proof that hard work and dedication pay off. Keep on keepin on, Bulldozer!

If you can help, please do. If you are a praying person, please do!

I usually talk about pool and trying hard… but today it’s something way bigger. My wife is facing three brain surgeries.

I promised I'd start opening up more on here; so here you go. We thought we were in the clear. Her headaches, dizziness, nausea, were all down (back to normal or atleast lowered), but it we couldn't have been more wrong.

MRI showed something bad enough to where we needed to go into the ER immediately. She'll need 3 brain surgeries at the end of the week for us to get our lives back. Plus 2-4weeks of healing.

Luckily she can stay at home with close monitoring by myself until the surgery.

I never ask this community for much but I have to now for my family. Become a subscriber (check the pinned comment) which will help financially ($0.99)

is up to you, but here's what I really want;

A 5 second prayer or good vibe to send our way would be immensely grateful to us. Im going to continue to TRY HARD and stay strong for my family. Ill keep you updated.

This post was not easy to write.

Thank you to my partners:

As the petition says, Billiards is much more that a barroom pastime. It is not just a game or sport. It requires complex thinking, mathematics, physics, problem solving, and so much more. There is no reason schools should not be offering it as a course.
Please take a look and sign if you are so inclined.
Thanks!

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Putting Education on the Table (P​.​E​.​T.) adding Billiards as a school elective and Varsity

This is a great tidbit of advice. Thanks to Jeremiah at Bullseye Billiards for the continued content!

The better you get, the harder improvement becomes. That’s why the real key to growth is staying humble. Because the moment you think you’ve mastered the game, you stop learning. 🎱 Bob Keller

🐉🐉🐉 Dragon's Tip of the Day 🐉🐉🐉

Sometimes your best pool is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

🐉 1. Emotionless pool is good pool.
🐉 2. Fun pool is good pool.
🐉 3. Bad pool is better than no pool which makes it good pool.

You can't control your emotions, but you can control your actions. Outward expressions of frustration will only fuel your opponent and build their confidence--you're helping them kick your ass.

When things aren't going right, don't be so quick to cuss and slam. Instead, be quick to slow the hell down. SLOW DOWN. Focus on your mechanics. Loosen your grip. 1, 2, 3 deep breaths. 1, 2, 3 seconds of staring at your target without eyes fluttering back and forth from CB to OB. 1, 2, 3 seconds of staying down after the CB is struck. You're going to miss shots. We all do. But when your emotions take over, you rush because of a fight or flight response.

Rushing only makes you lose faster.
RUSHING ONLY MAKES YOU LOSE FASTER.

1, 2, 3 deep breaths. 1, 2, 3 deep breaths.
Smile and laugh at your bad luck. Be happy for your opponent shooting well or having good luck instead of being mad/sad for yourself. You can't control how you feel, but you can control how you perceive. Change your perception and your emotions will follow...1, 2, 3 ways to look at an outcome.

🐉 1. See the shot.
🐉 2. See the path for shape.
🐉 3. Take your time and execute the plan.

Easy as 1, 2, 3. Unleash your Inner Dragon. 🐉

Play Like Him It’s easy to separate hobbies from faith—Sunday as “God time” and pool as “me time.” But God wants to be part of every area of our lives, including the pool hall, competition, and conversations. Your attitude, sportsmanship, and respect for opponents reflect your character and witness. C...
