I played pool with the guys again yesterday and made an astonishing discovery that changed my pool prowess.
I’d always look at where I wanted the ball to go and then focused completely on the cue ball with a view of striking it correctly. But then, I decided to quite focusing on the cue ball and keep my eye on the ball I was intending to strike with the cue ball and more importantly where I wanted the ball to go.
The difference was amazing. I began to actually make shots - more than the ones right next to a pocket.
There’s probably a real good analogy in this little anecdote about vision and other such leadership issues. You don’t hear many sermons on leadership and vision rooted in pool playing. Maybe I’ve found a new ANGLE.
