When and why you started playing pool – A few years
ago, mainly because of the lack of wheelchair snooker tournaments.
How often do you practice – I practise snooker most of the
time, but practise pool for 2 or 3 weeks before each tournament.
How
do you practice –
I play lots of matches against different people, but also have a few
solo sessions in which I practise specific shots.
The biggest thing you have learned in pool –
There is a very fine line between winning and losing.
Your pool career ambition –
To reach a ranking event semi-final firstly, then hopefully a final.
It will be very difficult to win a tournament, but might be
possible.
Your biggest pool achievement –
Watch this space…
Hobbies – Films, Reading, Drawing/Painting, Going out and
about with friends
What motivates you - I enjoy competing, and just want to
play to a standard that hopefully demonstrates I’m a decent player.
