This week my 147academy had the pleasure of holding another training camp for one of Europe’s top young juniors when 14-year-old Jenson Schmid from Switzerland attended a 2-day camp in the SBI Academy of Excellence in Carlow, Ireland.
Jenson returned to Ireland with his father Patrik to fine tune his game ahead of the 2024 U-16, U-18 and Under 21 EBSA European Snooker Championships which will be in held in Bosnia next month.
During each session I worked on fine tuning his fundamentals in his technique by working on his Approach and Rhythm. We also worked on his shot selection and cue ball control plus on the mental side to become mentally stronger.
Training Structure
Jenson was videoed during each session and he brings home all the videos from the action from the sessions to study and analyse more. A new training program with specific Scoring drills was designed to help him train for the coming season.
Training Aids
The latest training aids were used in this camp to enhance each session like the Mini Domin Eye, Blade Cue, Master Doctor, Str8aim SA-1 & SA-2, Chris Henry Balls, Academy laser, EBSA Coaching Balls to help to get him on the line of aim and develop a smoother stroke in his delivery.
Star of the future
I really believe Jenson has the potential to develop into a top European junior. His potting was incredible and work rate to learn all the drills and technical information was fantastic.

Patrik “said it is fantastic to return with Jenson to Ireland for another camp. It was great to see Jenson and PJ working so hard on improving his game. PJ planned out the camp again perfectly and Jenson’s new training plan is great to improve shot selection in his break building skills.

New Training Plan
Jenson now begins a new training program which will be monitored with the feedback from his practice sessions in Switzerland. It is really fantastic to have this European Junior in my 147academy and I will do everything possible to help develop his game over the next few years.
Thank You
My 147academy would like to thank Jenson and his dad for coming to Carlow and I wish him good luck in the 2024 EBSA Championships in Bosnia.
