If you don't put in the hard work, do not expect results.
1 line to everybody. So to the year 1s who are not playing well. Do not blame the balls, tables, friends for distracting you if you don't play well. Just blame yourself for not putting in the hard work when there is so many other tables to practice on. Not enuff tables? Wait until 6+ when the crowd goes home then u can have 1 table for your self to train on.
And when I mean hard work, it does not mean pot 10 balls for 1-2hr finish. Hard work means that you will never fail to pot 10 balls every time u do it.
So don't blame your seniors for not guiding you when you yourself refuse to put in the hard work.
