Personal pool reflections by Diane M. Todd, M.S., PMP® | Not a mental-health service.
Beyond the Felt
The pool table is a pressure test for life
Every shot reveals how we plan, focus, adapt, recover, and keep going—skills that matter in competition, at work, and far beyond the felt.
These aren't just pool skills. They're life skills with six pockets and a very honest scoreboard.
The lessons keep rolling through stories, reflections, and practice videos.

Fedor—Top-5 World Player, played one-handed and gave me the break and ball in-hand. I had a blast playing such an extraordinary player.

The Fast Mind at the Table
Pool gives my ADHD brain a place to practice focus, timing, decisions, and recovery—with the occasional argument between Spaz and Stillwater.
The PM Practice Table
Pool turns planning, risk, communication, adaptability and recovery into live practice—without costing a project its schedule or budget. Just your turn at the table.
