Excellent perspective Niels! I gave up Facebook over two years ago and it's been great. As far as pool goes, I find that I've improved a lot more at mentally dealing with taking a loss against a high level opponent. I try and see it as a learning opportunity and just appreciate the great execution that I'm watching as opposed to being negative about it. There are no problems, just opportunities :) Keep up the great work you do sir!
You said rate yourself, I literally gave myself a 1. I feel like I truly have pro player capabilities but I dont have the luxury of being able to practice when I want and I'm always stressed about how I'm going to make money to pay bills. Very frustrating
Try to set small goals and make sure you have the peace when you're practicing... Meditation is a very powerfull tool to clear your mind, which is super important for pool!! 🔥 Please feel free to check out my "TERMINATOR COLLEGE", there's even a free online course for mental training: terminator-college.com/p/masterful-goal-setting-for-competitive-pool-players
Niels, you're a real blessing man. Always positive, always helpful and the way you're giving back to the pool community is just awesome. I just got back from the CSI expo in Oklahoma at the Apache casino and your vids are always my go to when I'm evaluating my game. I want to say thanks a ton and I look forward to meeting you in Vegas, given that you are there.
This is so in line with what I have been coming up to myself over last months of trainings, tournaments, amazing shots and even more amazing mistakes ;)🎉
Hey Niels, I was wondering something crazy: Would you like to play at the Munich City Classics with me as partner from Dec. 28th to 29th🤓 I would pay you 250 €, 30 € entry fee, drinks and food and you may keep the money we might win (1st price is 800 €). It's a big dream for me playing a double with a real champ once in a lifetime😍 (Feels like asking the girl you can never have for a date out of nowhere😂)
Niels unfortunately the social media destroy the community and the REAL moments. This video is wisely, I don't use as well. This important energy we can use it positive and build amazing things. Cheers!
Hey I got one for you... I'm sure the tournaments the pros participate in, go for long hours into the morning right? What do you do for your tiredness? I think you will have to put in perspective, that you are talking to people who work for a living. I get up at 9-10am, do some jobs, go home and get ready for pool, and play as long as I have an opponent. I'm usually asleep by 1am. Some of these tournaments run till 3-6am and damn it's a grind! I'm thinking, some of the same tool you know of that could be used when dealing with jet lag,when traveling over seas could help.
I think in the US the tournaments might last a little longer than here in Europe... we're mostly done at midnight at the latest. Still can be a long day, if your first match was a 9 am... Regarding jetlag: I always remember to workout, get fresh air, eat healthy and get my sleep!! Those would be my best advises to be honest. I understand that for people who also have a job next to playing pool it is very difficult to find the time and sometimes also the energy, on the other hand doing something you love should give you energy back!!!! Maybe a good start is to look at it that way :-) I'm a professional pool player, dad of 2 kids, husband, RU-vidr, owner of a platform from where I sell my Mental Training Courses for Competitive Pool Players (terminator-college.com/) and also have my own webshop (terminator-shop.com/)... so I guess we are all pretty busy ;) Try to be the best version of you and I'm sure you will feel more energy and power!! All the best, Niels

Thank you for the upload Niels, your videos have helped me become a better pool player overall! I just recently read a book called Relentless by Tim S. Grover. It’s a great book and worth checking out.
Efficient, true and effective content thank you. Also, nice to see you on the Billiard Network, great episodes. And, hopefully Matchroom already hired you for cutaway Mosconi commentary. Can not wait for Mosconi '22! I know you're going to be back on that team just so much amazing talent at your level but you will be back on that team and you will go beast mode. Just remember deserve has got nothing to do with it so keep walking the walk. Amazing player, teacher and human. You are a rich man Niels, thanks again for spreading the wealth.
Probably one of the best and honest videos about self reflection and improvement out there. I really needed to hear this and give me that boost at the table. I work all day and wake up early and when I get to the table for practice I sometimes let my negative thoughts creep in and ruin my play. I also have my kids and wife around and that makes it sometimes difficult too. But hearing your similar struggles helps me to know I'm not the only one. Thanks Neils from 🇨🇦
Glad to hear it Michael! Thanks for supporting my channel 👊 Please have a look on my "Terminator College" website with online mental training courses for pool players!!!

Man I was with you until I got to the working out and sleep part. Now I know I'm doomed. lol, no seriously, great video. There's so much more to this crazy game we all love than just shooting.
Lol I love how Niels is like ‘don’t compare yourself to this guy because he has such a good stroke’ then pauses and has us watch a sweet whole clip of a guy with a good stroke like ‘but seriously check this guy out rq’ 😂
Hey Neils im Raffy from Manila Philippines yes you are right. But honestly me comparing myself to you in a POSITIVE way has been an inspiration. Im 36yrs old, and i started playing pool since i was 12 when Efren won the world 9 ball championship. But sadly from then to now, my game never really ascended. So pool just become just another game to me. Until late 2022 when i decided to play pool again, this time ive been more serious to elevate my game just as high as i can reach. So i started watching tutorials in YT, and you chanel is one of my favorite. Until i watched 1 of your videos when you divulged that your left eye is handicaped. I was really shocked, because since i first saw you in 2001, you became one of my favorite foreign player because of your potting ability and your efficiency. So when i learned that your vision is handicaped, it made my desire to improve burns more. I said to myself, howcome someone with vision handicap become one of the best of alltime while me with 20-20 vision on my both eyes couldnt even ascend my game. Now everytime when i practice solitarily, i now practice my stroke and my fundamentals more inspired and driven to improve and never waste my Time while i still can improve. I may no longer be a professional pool player in my lifetime. But at the very least, i want to be able to be in intermediete and at least to be able to runout a 10ball on table. Now first things first, im trying to correct my fundamentals and at least lessen my unforced missed gimme shots. I look forward to be a better pool player that i am today a year from now. And i wish to meet you my idol someday. Goodluck in your games. Godbless Neils.
