My name is Bill Donato and I have taught pocket billiards for well over 46 years.
     
I was first certified to teach billiards in Illinois and Arizona by my local area clubs. Upon moving to Florida I had the desire to become an instructor for the largest teaching organization in billiards which is the Billiard Congress of America or BCA which is now the PBIA.

I trained and earned my certifications to make my students feel more comfortable with my knowledge and ability in playing the game.
       
I am here to help anyone who has the desire to bring their games to a higher level and to satisfy their love of the game.
       
Once you are shown a typical procedure, It takes practice, but you must know how to practice and certainly what to practice to make it happen.
       
I'm here to help!
If I hear from you, I'll do my very best to get you to that level that satisfies you the most.

Shooting without SEEING or LOOKING at the cue ball or object ball, If your stroke is good, and your aim has been established, your vision is no longer required to make a shot! I am not suggesting this is how you play the game, just an illustration of how the eyes and stroke and delivery takes place. My eyes were totally covered on each shot.

 

Phil Jackson of the Chicago Bulls was a   "COACH"  and brought his teams to 6 National Basketball Championships.

Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers was a  "
COACH"  and brought his teams to 5 National Football Championships

Their jobs were to   "
COACH"   using their abilities and knowledge of the game to keep their students (players) to be motivated and learn to be the best they can be.

I am certainly not a Phil Jackson or Vince Lombardi, but my desire is to bring my pocket pool knowledge and playing abilities to   "
COACH"   my billiard students to be the very best they personally can be.
