Feeling Snookered
Snooker has been a cornerstone of English Culture since the 19th Century, and with the UK Championships commencing as we speak, we are all excited and apprehensive to see who will prevail.
We have already witnessed some titanic struggles and vigorous competition in the first few sessions of the UK Championships, which have challenged the mental acuity of both the players and the viewers. However, what many of us don’t realise is how playing Snooker can have a direct impact on actively reducing offending behaviour amongst Youths.

Mind Over Snooker
May 8th 2017
It’s quite poignant that on Mental Health Awareness week, that I have decided to discuss aspects of the positive contribution that the game of snooker could give to the professionals that play the game and to discuss the phenomenon of fear and anxiety around winning or losing in snooker. Alongside my research study in collaboration with World Snooker on an extensive research study around mental health awareness in snooker, I felt the need to explore aspects of mental health and well-being from the lens of snooker through the professional arena of the sport.
