Timing is possible the most important facet in coaching a sport whether it is in Tennis, Golf, Football or Snooker. Sportsmen always talk of loss of form but never can pin-point the reasons for the loss or slump in form.

There is always a reason in every sport for a shot missed, but not always explained clearly with words and detail.

Fine Art teaching is not only to introduce something new to sports but to detail the probable reasons for fluctuations in form particularly the dreaded unexpected miss in snooker the three foot put in Golf or the open goal misses in football

The word Form is the real culprit, it covers a multiple of faults that should and could be easily explained if there wasn’t that acceptable reason or excuse; he/she/they are off form.

What makes good form and poor form is two different subjects, and should be analysed separately as overcoming poor form does not create ability

The Tennis player may be playing one shot ahead of himself by moving in anticipation of the opponents return shot or assuming that the last shot played won’t be returned.

The golfer may stop his swing as soon as club and ball has made contact, but carries on the swing without realising the golf swing was incomplete and cannot be joined again as one.

The snooker player plays two shots, pot and position, but moves to play the second shot before the first shot is completed.

The footballer when left with an open goal-mouth shoots the ball over the bar as he turns away for his “cuddles and kisses” is only one reason for the miss.

All the above faults have one thing in common; they are all caused by the feeling of self satisfaction of a job well done and worthy of approval.

The foot ball player’s “missed sitter” is deserving of more sympathy as the player has also missed out on “real cuddles and kisses”. The other players merely miss the self satisfied feeling of accomplishment; except of course if playing a final and winning a trophy there is sometimes cuddles and kisses all round.

The Victory Roll is often the cause for failure as it is a humane trait and all contestants are guilty of this anomaly in sport, therefore the fault is often evened out.

The coach that can eliminate the victory roll concept is half way to perfecting (in words) the art of teaching with full understanding as well as merely coaching sport.
