Name |
Anthony Davies |
Home |
Barry, in South Wales. It's about ten miles from Cardiff. |
Where do you coach? |
I work out of a few of the clubs in South Wales. |
Experience |
WPBSA qualified coach since 1998. |
Coaching Body / Qualifications |
World Snooker Grade A |
CRB Check |
Yes |
Worked With |
I get most satisfaction from working with juniors and people who play for fun. They have different ambitions and yet the enjoyment they get seems greater. I have also worked with a number of young guys who have improved to international standard and that is very satisfying too. |
Coaching Achievements |
I have set up and run a number of succesful snooker schools which have been running for a number of years. |
Playing Achievements |
My highest world ranking was 20, in 2002. I got to the Crucible three times which is the biggest buzz for any snooker player. My claim to fame is hammering the 'greatest player ever to live', Stephen Hendry, 5-1 in the 2001 British Open. I also reached the final of the Welsh Championship last year and lost in the last 8 of the IBSF world championship in Thailand. |
Rates |
Anthony is available for one-to-one sessions at his venue for £30 per hour. He is also available to work with National Associations on longer term contracts. |

Best Tip |
For the fun player "1,2,3 and go - hesitating when youre on the shot will end in disaster"! If you're more serious then "make it happen, don't let it happen"! |
