What Does it Take to Win?
You must possess a powerful drive made up of imagination, self-discipline, selfishness, endurance, fear, courage and social instability. This sounds like a real mouthful.
I want you to think about how each quality equates winning and how you can acquire the attributes that will turn you into a winner. This is incredible information and should only be shared with serious students of the game. If you would like me to send you a nice article on this subject, I will be happy to. Simply request the What does it take to win and I will send it to you personally.
I have been working with students for over twenty years now. When I first wrote Focus on Winning I named the book “My Students from Hell”. They both showed up at the Expo to reassure me of how accurate the title was. I wanted to stay politically correct so I moved away from the first title. Focus on Winning is exactly what that book is all about. This is how to focus on the task at hand so you will not be distracted by the petty things around you. I encouraged both my “hell” students to read the book with an open mind. They are doing well as they do have the one thing that is vital to a good game and that is they will never give up. As they grow, they will learn and prosper in this great game.
Once you come out of the Lonely Conflict stage your personal grow explodes and you break through to the next level and beyond.
Jimmy Wetch joins The Monk Staff.
You have all heard of this world class champion. Jimmy has a first class pool hall in Minneapolis called Jimmy’s Professional Billiards. Mr. Wetch will be teaching The Monk 101 at all levels. I first met Jimmy when he beat Johnny Archer eleven to two in a match in Massachusetts. Jimmy was one of the first pool players to make over one hundred thousand dollars based on prize money in one year. This talented young players has a strong desire to help others. He participated in The Monk Masters Teaching clinic in Minneapolis.
Dominic Colonero also graduated in the same class. Dominic attended The University of Illinios in Chicago and learned The Monk 101 program while I was there in July. He continued his training in The Masters of Arts in Pocket Billiards and then joined me in Minneapolis for the remaining five days of training. This gentleman is an accomplished player and teacher and will be helping all students in the Chicago area learn The Monk 101 system.
Alice Banks also attended the Monk Masters Teachers Workshop in Minneapolis. This young lady will be sharing The Monk 101 with players in the Tampa Bay Fl. area. She is also in The Masters of Art in Pocket Billiards program.
I am holding a Monk 101 workshop in Minneapolis on the 31st of March and 1st of April. In that workshop I have nine teachers and it’s all for $500.00. We will be at Jimmy’s Professional Billiards. “Dr Cue” will be there as well.
The Monk on the road
I am in the states on my workshop tour. Right now we are in Minneapolis for a big eight ball BCA league tournament.
The Super Billiards Expo was a real treat. Allen and Dawn did a great job and I wholeheartedly recommend you make plans to get there next year. The Super Billiards Expo is first class all the way. You don’t have to pay table time as all tables are open so your entry fee is worth the table time. I am making plans to return and will look for you there.
We gave away over five hundred copies of my e book Pool Tips for Beginners. You can have one free just by emailing me with your request.
