A secret is wasted if not shared.

Dear Judd Trump

How are you lad! Sorry for your quick exit from the York Tournament but not surprising as there are a dozen plus players capable of being No.1 in the rankings.

The York Tournament lost much as you are a snooker entertainer like Ronnie O. At present lad you are doing  a Jimmy White and playing too much to the gallery.

Your family and friends are doing great harm by forever praising you as if "You had performed well in a Christmas play" instead of a difficult mental challenge that's acquired by habit instead of detailed words.

Snooker is not really a mental challenge if the players know what they are doing Right and doing Wrong instead of practising successful faults.

The player that masters the long pot; but Not by the trial and error method will be a permanent No 1. Good luck lad.. You are not playing fast enough but far too quickly on the strike. Mr Hey You Daniel Marner@mrheyyoutwittrfacebookandyahoo
