Do you think there is a limit to how far reading and watching videos can take you? I have put in countless hours of reading up on the many aspects of the game and watching videos to the point where I know more or less what your response will be to a high percentage of the questions that continually get answered by you and Jeff. I Feel like I'm to the point where it comes down to the execution of the knowledge I've gained, rather than just the knowledge itself.

Do you guys think you can get to a point where all of the knowledge in the world isn't the answer to your further progression?

Where just more hours on the table with players better than you, or time with a coach is what you need?

Hi Dakota,

Absolutely. We always encourage players to get out on the table as the most important thing.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.

Hi Huzaifa,

It is sometimes difficult to judge your own progress. Make sure you are training with focus and doing some drills. Design a training program for yourself where you structure your session. We have help on this in our Training Plan document and also with our Training Drills download. Use these two things to set up your own training session.
