Ireland National Snooker Coach
” I am a fulltime Irish Professional WPBSA / EBSA / IBSF / SBI Qualified Snooker Coach with more than 25 year’s experience of coaching players and teams in Ireland and around the world in winning some of the biggest titles. ”

I began my coaching career in my home town of New Ross in Co. Wexford in the Republic of Ireland in the early 1990’s. I am honoured to work full time for Snooker & Billiards Ireland as National Coach & Development Officer. I have held successful coaching camps all around the world in Qatar, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Romania, Belgium, Hungary, Malta, India, Egypt, Sweden, Finland, Israel, UAE and Italy.

Over the years I have coached and guided players to win every Irish National Snooker Title, EBSA European Men’s Title, European Masters Title, European Under 21 Titles, European Under 18 Title, European 6 Reds Title, European Team Titles, Asian Indoor Games Title, Home International Titles, Celtic Challenge Titles, Asian Title and Gulf GCC Titles.

I have coached players like Ken Doherty, Fergal O Brien, Aaron Hill, David Hogan, Vincent Muldoon, Rodney Goggins, Aditya Mehta, Brendan O Donoghue, Josh Boileau and Ross Bulman on the WST World Professional Snooker Tour plus a number of the world’s best Amateur players. I am a full time professional snooker coach since 1999 with WPBSA, EBSA, IBSF and SBI Coaching Accreditation.

I coach all levels of players from the club player who want to just have more fun or even improve to beat their friends, to the elite player who wants to win National or International event or even turn professional.
