Preface by Thomas Hein

Performance diagnostics is as indispensable in snooker as it is in any other sport for the as-sessment of ability and identification of deficits, with the final aim to optimize your training sys-tematically and individually.

This book is aimed at opening up to all aspir-ing snooker players the possibilities of perfor-mance diagnostics that so far have been re-stricted to professional players.

Every snooker player can use PAT Snooker to identify his or her playing abilities, regardless of their skill level, and can adapt the training fo-cus to the needs identified. The coach is able to identify both potential and deficits and can structure the training accordingly.

However, PAT Snooker is more than a mere in-strument of performance diagnostics.

This book contains a collection of exercises previously unknown in this format and scope that provide each player with valuable input for a structured and systematic training. Especial-ly beginners often find themselves in this sit-uation: you’re alone at the table, you’re high-ly motivated and would like to train. But how should you train – and what? Distributing the balls across the table and striking a few shots might be a good idea for a start. However, only clearly structured and targeted exercises will produce measurable results.

PAT Snooker contains a comprehensive collec-tion of exercises with defined targets and tech-nical requirements.

Many years of active snooker – both as na-tional coach and as player – have made it very clear to me that this is the most effective way to systematically improve your playing ability. This book is intended to pass on some of my experience.
