Re: what to practice

In disciplines where i have had (relatively) recent coaching (pool, tennis, Pickleball), i have found it invaluable to have an insightful coach/mentor who can identify weaknesses that are in my blind spots - and identify and prioritize drills that i didn’t realize i needed.

There are sometimes exercises (as an alternative or supplement to coaching) that can expose those weaknesses For example Bob Jewett has some progressive run out drills for a pool. Doing those I found that I was often failing in similar situations (e.g. shooting when the cue ball was on a rail and i therefore needed a different, more awkward bridge). I spent years practicing pool without ever doing focused practice on that skill.

I often find people are blind to there biggest addressable weakness
