Is Hendry passed it ?

I'm not agree with your opinions! You are not even qualify to laugh on it, unless you are also a coach who can do better than Lee.
You can say you are not willing to pay for coaching, or you don't need a coach because you are good enough.
If you think you do better, just go to any club and post a note for yourself and see how many people will contact you!! Or you can coach one of Lee's student and let the student judge is it worth to pay for Lee.
A good player doesn't mean he knows how to coach well!!
Thanks for bought this up, and I will try to contact him and take couple lessons. I think that's fair to make any kind of comment after you actually try on it.

Where did i say i dont need a coach cos i'm good enough?....

Where did i say i could do better?......

Let me tell you now i could do with a bit of coaching, i talk a better frame than i play.....

[lloouu]

Totally agree with that!!

Wild, that may well be, but that's not my point. My post was an answer to some here attacking Lee Brett on his coaching abilities on the ground he wasn't a top player. My point is that it isn't needed to be a top player to be a good coach and that being a top player will not guarantee you can teach what you can do.

I'm totally agree with that! All the World Champions' coach should be the champion!

Then Cally, if that's the case, I hope that i will get a chance to see on Youtube how you did on the coaching! ;-D

I can see what you are saying here Cally. I have to say I've not seen a top snooker coach who has a club player technique before. And what Lee said was pretty funny...
I think Hendrys problems are all in his head. His technique is still good enough to win titles.

[lloouu]

OK Cally, if you comment on something from your point of view, or giving some advise to someone. That's a good things to do, no matter it's a good comment or not. However, it you laughing at someone's work for living, think about that people do the same thing to you.

[wildJONESEYE]

look at it another way if Steve Davis took up coaching Hendry would he be a world beater again of course not but when talking about coaching it is not how well you can play but how well you can talk a good game.

look at Football Managers and coaches they dont have to be the best players in technique or ability to coach more talented players.

[snookerlass]

A word from the wise, never put a good man down and never underestimate your opponent.

[lloouu]

Yeah! That's the point!!

100% agreed with your opinions! A good coach more rely on their knowledge rather than their technique!

one thing hendry must improve is his confidence, all these comments about snooker being torture aren't helping him and are boosting his opponents , in my opinion if he started believing in himself and his technique and most importantly tried to enjoy the game, he would play a lot better than he does now because as a hendry fan what hurts the most are some of these desperate comments he is making, it sounds as if snooker is making him miserable and i would rather he retire than that happen, after all he is the greatest player ever to pick up a cue and has nothing left to prove

Gawd you take some explaining to, the point has abviously gone over ya head....

Right i'll explain it again in another way just for you....


What i found funny was the offer to sort hendry's error of his ways out and if anyone see's him let him know like...lol...when the person obviously has errors in his game... Not laughing at his "work for living"......and not saying he is not a top coach but dont ya think hendry has not already got access to every top coach, sports psychologist in the land at hand if he wanted it.



Like hendry has'nt seen/worked with any top coaches already. and no doubt told regularly about the errors of his ways... i bet people tell him everyday to change that little something in his game but ya know..............


Lee's offer of a week with him and he will get him back to winning tickled me...

Think about it now before you reply.......

Hendry won't do it again at the world championships because a 41 year old hasn't done it since Reardon in the early 1970's and it would be totally against the trend to do it at such an age now. When Reardon was doing 5 of his 6 in his 40's it was mainly an over 40's field consisting of only 10 professionals. Now it's mainly 20's and 30's year olds of a much higher quality than what Reardon faced way back then.

It's got nothing to do with it being 100% down to psychological issues why he hasn't done it in his late 30's to now his 40's. Even if he does sort out any psychological issues he still won't do it at the Crucible in his 40's. A 40 year old is a hell of an age now in top level professional snooker compared to the 1970's when the field now is much younger generally and of a much higher quality than it was way back then, and more players in the field compared to then too. Nobody has done it since 1978, Steve Davis hasn't, Hendry won't and in truth neither will O'Sullivan, John Higgins, williams when they get to their 40's or anybody else 40+ for that matter will ever do it.

You surely can't expect someone to remain at there top all the time...

I quite agree with jonplayer..(who might make a good coach/player himself)
Jon said Hendrys problems are all in his head...I agree....He ain't been doing so bad and he certainly ain't finished.
I wonder what flaws any snooker coach can see in his game (I asked lee what he would teach him....a fair question to which he has not answered yet) because I cant see any flaws apart from belief in himself which he may lack at times.

[david16]

But for people to be wondering whether a 40 year old and over can win a world professional snooker championship at the Crucible now is completely ridiculous.

Reardon has been compared to Steve Davis and Hendry as modern era because he won 6 world titles including a world professional snooker championship at the Crucible in the 1970's, so people think if Reardon did it 47, well Hendry can as well at 41 or 42.

But face it it was totally different era way back then packed full of 40's 50's and even 60 year olds but only the odd 30 year old+ so of course Reardon was going to do it in his 40's including his 1978 world title there in his late 40's and other oldies winning it as well, now there's only the odd 1 or 2 40+ in a 20's and 30's years old domiated field competing there and there's far many more high quality players now than there was in the 1970's it's totally unrealistic to expect that Hendry can win it again now.
