3-12-10 "The art of pocket billiards is found in your training. If you are working on the "keys to success" during each shot you will realize skill development in all areas of your game. It is not about how many balls you can run, it is about how professional you are at the table." The Monk

Some helpful hints for those Cave Dwellers and players who are faithfully piling rocks.
Make sure you understand that it will come to you. You may have to pile rocks for three years before it happens. And you can take some steps
now to make your journey a little easier
Number one. What ever your session was today, it is okay. Most of our frustration comes from our resistance to the facts as they are. When
we fight this reality we cause our own stress. If you can let whatever happens today to be okay, you can change tomorrow. You can do this
because you are not fighting the reality of today. Let your session with the rocks be okay. It is fine. You are okay. Today was a good day.
Number two. You must understand that you do have a breaking point, a time when you just can’t take it any longer. We need to push that
back. This is done by developing a principle to live by. I like to call it “right thinking” which comes from the wonderful world of monks. The best
book I ever read on “right thinking” was a book called I Came to Win. This is who you have become and with that philosophy you can push
your breaking point back so far that it does not effect you at all. When you walk out of a tournament, having lost a tough match remember who
you are. If you are an I Came to Win player than you are not thinking about the past.
Number three. Your frustration is good. Those of you who are impatient with the level of growth you experience have a chance to act on that
impatience by doing number one over and over. When things are not going as you desire you are forced to make a change. As a direct result
of your trouble you are pushed to the cure. Personal growth always comes with a price to pay. Change is not easy. I have seen so many of you
come through the chaos to a stronger more meaningful game experience.
Number four. You are an I Came to Win player. So often we identify with the chaos we are going through. People refer to themselves as
their own sickness. “I am a diabetic” they say. ‘No you are not’ I would tell them. ‘You are a person who has diabetes’. We need to let go of our
identification with our troubles and practice “right thinking”.
I did not cash in five straight Viking Tour 9 Ball Tournaments. It was frustrating because I can do better than that. So I let it be okay and went to
work. I used the frustration I felt as my motivation to continue training. I am not the shooter I was when I lost those five tournaments. I am so
much better now. If I do not run a hundred balls I am surprised but okay with that. I keep working hard.
Number five. You make the choice. You have the power to see things in any way you like. You have the power to simply be okay with what
ever happened. You can look forward to the next event. You are an I Came to Win player who does not dwell on past failures. If your
experience is “okay” than how can you get down on yourself and develop low self esteem?
Number six. Change must come from the unconscious mind. To move to the next level you must be able to see the things that are keeping
you where you are. Once you can do that, when these habitual responses come up you can cancel them.

For over twenty five years I have served this great game. They have been good years and much has happened
over that time. My trip to Russia was filled with adventure and intrigue. I went on Russian TV and taught at the
Moscow University. During these trips around the world I have been able to put together a complete training
program. It is my legacy. We all have a legacy we leave behind. While I am not planning on catching the big bus
to heaven for a while, I still have something to show for my many years of work. And I want to share it with
you. With The Monk 101 program you will be able to build each part of your skills one step at a time until you
have acquired both the knowledge and the performance skills you desire to win tournaments, matches, rise to
the top of your league. You will gain the respect from your peers you so richly deserve. All of my books and
dvd's add up to a specific and deliberate training program and now, I am working on the ultimate teaching
manual called The Legacy. It is the entire series of training program that has helped tens of thousands of
players all across this globe. The Legacy is my contribution to this game.
Unless your training is specific and deliberate you are wasting your time. Many students will buy all my
products and get lost in the wealth of material that is found in the books and dvd's. The are overwhelmed and
confused and it is to much for them when they are left on their own. They don't know where to begin. Now you
will be able to follow a step by step program to gain both knowledge and skill. The Lesson has over 160 shots and
strokes you must master. You can go through that specific training manual and bring your game to the next
level. Better still, you will be able to see a clip of each lesson so you know exactly what you are expected to
achieve. I have asked Racheal Abbink to shoot over a 100 Lesson shots for you. When I was in Russia I asked a
young man by the name of Megeull to shoot shots from The Lesson so you could see them performed to
perfection. You will see me shoot over 50 very important shots and strokes so you will be able to understand
exactly what The Monk 101 program is all about.
The Legacy will be laid out for you in four specific parts. You will take time to master the all important stance,
grip and Pre Shot Routine. This section alone will take your game to the next level. You will see how I set up
the stance from my Russian visit. You will look at Rachaels stance, Migeuls stance and you will watch a valuable
lecture on how vital this part of your training is.

Tim -
I want to pass along kudos for the selection of shots you have in the performance pool program. When I first
looked at them, I frankly thought they were too simple and wondered about the benefit of working such a group
of shots. To my pleasant surprise, the shots are very specific in the range of skill required for each and the
whole package of 52 covers a very high percentage of the total game.
Here is how I work my way through the program: For each shot, I shoot it until I achieve 10 good outcomes.
That often takes a lot of attempts and therein lies the practice and benefit for me. I do not set-up hole
reinforcement markers, instead using just a chalk mark on the cloth. That way, each attempt is slightly different
that the others which further adds to the skill development. After I make my 10 practice successes, I shoot the
shot 10 consecutive times for my score. Each time through the 52 shots, I complete this routine and it has
greatly increased both my shooting skills and my mind process in analyzing the possibilities for each shot in the
games I play in league, tournaments, etc.
Looking at those x/10 scores is the real eye-opener as far as the difficulty of each shot and the grooved skills
needed to shoot each one successfully.
Anyway, I appreciate the program even more now.
