PBIA (Professional Billiards Instructor Association) and ACS (American Cue Sports) billiards instructor for ten years.
My playing and competitive experience goes back over 50 years.
I love the give and take of competitive sports and enjoy helping others improve their playing and thinking skills.
The books I have published on Smash Words include:
• Psychology of Gamesmanship – How to Manage Mind Games & Tricks – Identifies more than 80 sharks and how to prevent your opponent from using them. Also applicable to other team (football, basketball, soccer) and individual (pool, tennis, darts) sports.
• The Art of War versus the Art of Pool – The philosophy of pool as defined by Sun Tzu, the Chinese general who wrote about applied warfare, 2500 years ago.
• The Art of Politics & Campaigning - an easy road map to success in competition against others for a valued position.
• The Art of Team Coaching - how Sun Tzu would coach coaches, including specifics on team and individual training.
• The Art of Personal Competition - how Sun Tzu would guide your development as a team player.
• Kitchen God's Guide for Single Guys – a humorous cooking book for bachelors

VIDEOS
Also available are the following videos, which can be rented or purchased on Amazon and on the billiardgods web site:

The fundamental concepts presented in this book are when to consider defensive tactics and how to select the most effective shot. This new awareness allows you to consider the many ways to offer your opponent one of many possible unfriendly layouts. You are going to have to give up one very bad habit – letting your imagination run wild.
Let your opponents continue following the bar-banger style of calling fantastic hero shots, such as, "5 ball, four rails, off the 7 and into the side pocket." It is a sign of pool player maturity to stop playing shots that a five year old can recognize as dumb. With that change in your attitude, this book, and some practice sessions, you can start using a few of those brain cells to make better playing decisions.
I don't need to wish you good luck. This book and some of your time is all you need to begin winning more games. You will actually discover that you can win more games simply by preventing your opponent from winning. And it is also more fun that simply outshooting him.
