The Lesson has been used to turn good players into great players.
This game is all about skill development. When you raise your skill
level you become a new and exciting pool player. The Lesson
strokes and shots will take your game to the next level and beyond.

Once you go through The Lesson you will find that you have skills
to make shots you were afraid of. You will be able to "See the shot -
Know the stroke - shoot the shot".

I designed The Lesson fifteen years ago and this training manual
has been helping players ever since. Take time to master each
lesson shot illustrated in this great book. Your friends will not
recognize your game when you step to the table and pull off shots
that win matches.

Once you master these shots you will gain the respect you deserve
from your peers. You will always look good at the table. No more
guessing which shot to shoot. You won't have to go through the
agony of indecision as you will see the shot, know the stroke and
then shoot the shot.

This game is great fun when you know what you are doing. The
Lesson will take you to the next level.

The Lesson will help you master the Four Strokes of Pool.
The Lesson will help you master Cue Ball Speed.
The Lesson will help you master your own confusion on each shot.

You will smile when you see Rachael
shoot these shots. She turns in a
remarkable performance.
We put in motion the way we thought about the experiences we were going through. This is like a seed that begins to grow. You strengthen that
which you focus on. For instance, if you remember failing on a particular shot in the past, when it comes up you will go into a habitual panic and
believe you are going to miss the shot. If you can go back to your “right thinking” which is I Came to Win you will deliver a strong committed stroke
regardless of what is going on in your mind. The facts of the matter is that you did miss this shot before. That is a fact. It is how you deal with the
facts that determine how well you will do in a situation.

Number seven. There are  times when you just have to become a good witness. Step aside when you are faced with turmoil and watch how you
respond. Learn to identify with the keys that strengthen your behavior. Take a moment in quiet thought to simply watch yourself. If you are a good
witness you will pick up on some valuable things that can help you make those changes you need.

Number eight. It is very important to stay away from generalizations. “I always miss the key ball” is a statement that will haunt you. “This is a
tough tournament” is another. “This cue ball is no good” and on and on. When someone comes up to me with a generalization statement I always
say, “I don’t know about that. I’m just trying to win the tournament.” “Don’t you think this table is to fast?” They might ask. “I don’t know. I just try to
play it the way it is.”  What’s too fast, what’s too slow?

Number  nine. We are always just starting out. In our training in our tournaments and in our matches. You know the four words that describe who
we are. You are free from all failures and facts In your starting out phase. If you have lost six times at this bar or pool hall it does not change the
fact that you are just starting out.


Number ten. Within all good shots there is an anchor that kicks in. You must find this anchor and use it on all shots, not just the good ones but
the tough ones, the easy ones, the low percentage shots. When you are faced with a long tough shot you must fine your anchor within your pre
shot routine and tap into it so you can deliver the committed stroke that will pocket the ball.
