Sam Howell
If you have gotten more coaching and still did not get the results you are seeking, perhaps the dilemma lies within you mentally/emotionally? I tell my students when they are struggling to simply stop trying to achieve ANY specific results. Trying too hard is a spiral that can pull anyone into a whirlwind of expectations and then frustration. This lack of achievement then fuels further spinning whirlwinds of self doubt and internal sabotage to join the overexertion. I often use the analogy of running as fast as you can ,but then a bit faster and you trip over yourself. (You will also find this is true with breaking the rack with extra power or on the last 8-ball shot jinx.) So, then how does one go about solving this issue? Although it could be different for different people based on learning style or personality traits, I would suggest letting your instincts and inner pool player autopilot subconscious self do the shooting and simply step out of the way. Your mind is a powerful tool if it is allowed to operate unimpeded! A trained pool players mind is primed for great feats as well. However, it must be tuned in and then allowed to operate without distractions such as: expectation, ego, results, doubt, values, identity, excess baggage, and many other covert operatives that sabotage and destroy us from within. I know this may sound esoteric, New Age Existentialistic Zen crazy stuff to some people, but it really is true and it works! Sam Howell can help you in the following classes.

I know this may sound esoteric, New Age Existentialistic Zen crazy stuff to some people, but it really is true and it works!
