Last weekend I returned to Austria on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of September to hold an official Austrian Billiards & Snooker Association training camp in the ÖSBV Academy in the city of Vienna.
Venue
The training facilities again were top class in the ÖSBV Academy and I was delighted to see all the players motivated to improve at this camp. The players were very eager to learn and I am very confident, we are developing the Austrian level at each camp.
The Players
Attendance at this camp was a mixture of top Austrian ranked Snooker & Billiard players who will be competing in the upcoming European Championships in Albania plus up and coming junior players were invited to the ÖSBV Academy.
Lukas Stötzer, Peyman Chitsaz, Thomas Janzso, Günter Kaschmier, Gunter Kulle, Daniel Seyser, Jasper Arbeiter, Timo Gampersberger, Florian Toth, Paul Schopf, Dominic Neuwirth, Andreas Kosic Zoran Kosic, Maximilan Dombrowski and Milan Dobrosavljevic.
High Quality Camp
This camp we concentrated my specific academy drills focusing on Break-Building, Mini Breaks, Open Breaks, Cue Ball Control, Long Potting and Match-play plus we held a 10min Shoot-Out.
Coaching Program
All the players received a copy of a mind fitness booklet on the journey of a player in getting more success. The players had their technique profiled and got feedback on what fundamentals they need to work on. The players also bring home a copy of their videos to improve at home.
Seminars Mental and physical
National Coach Chau Zi Kim gave a number of Mental Training seminar on becoming mentally stronger plus qualified fitness coach Daniel Seyser held a fitness session each morning for the players on how to warm up properly.
Training Aids
The latest training aids were used to enhance the sessions like the Mini Domin Eye, Master Doctor, QLine, Str8aim SA-1 & SA-2, Chris Henry Balls, Academy laser and the EBSA Coaching Balls to help to get the players on the line of aim and develop a smoother stroke in their delivery.
Thank You
I would personally like to thank the Austrian Association for their continued support and inviting me again to hold more camps with their National Teams players in 2025 – 2026.
I would like to thank Austrian President Christian Fock plus National Coach Chau Zi Kim and EBSA Coach Florian Schidla along with the ÖSBV Academy for their assistance during this camp.
Good Luck
It was a pleasure training everyone again and keep on training hard and believe in yourself.
See you all in November.
