hen the news broke I received more and more coaching requests from players across the country. Although I had already built up much knowledge on technique and tactics, I felt the need to thoroughly educate myself even further. Therefore I took coaching courses at Sport Vlaanderen (Didier De Proost), EBSA (PJ Nolan & Brando Krastev) and SightRight (Stephen Feeney & Lee Walker). From Didier I learned everything about technique there is to know. At EBSA I developed another important competence, namely developing high quality exercises and training programs. The most recent and perhaps most influential course, Stephen Feeney's SightRight, made me realize the importance of correct sighting and alignment. I believe that more than 95% of all players could improve massively if they'd work on these crucial skills.

​

Beside technique, the mental aspect plays a vital role in snooker. In order to assist players in this area, I thoroughly immersed myself into sports psychology. After having studied different domains such as NLP, deliberate practice, goal setting, emotion management, self image and REBT, I decided to pay attention to mental resilience within every cooperation, regardless of the level of the player. I therefore see this as a prerequisite for performances at the highest level possible.

​

The combination of my own experience and the things I've learned from the best in the business, ensures that I can deal with problems that players experience in a very flexible manner. I don't believe in 'the right way'. What works for one player can be a nightmare for another. I love the fact that no cooperation is the same. This way I keep learning. I'm fascinated by this fantastic profession every single day!"
