How to become a professional

Hi Alois

I was just wandering how you would become a professional, or even just a better player if there is no clubs around your area. I live in Northern Ireland and have recently discovered a passion for the sport. I am 14 and was wondering would I have to move when im 18 to become a pro. What can I do to improve my game?

 Thanks

Hi Galen,

For now think about getting as much training as you can.  If you have a table at home there are lots of drills that you can do.  Take a look at our Training Drills.  YOu can pick out some of these to train.  Hopefully we will be able to help you with your game as well providing advice to you. You can purchase our DVDs as well for more information about the game.

You may have to travel to find a club to keep your improvement going. 

Becoming a professional is a long road but a very rewarding one.  Keep working at it.
