|
| Favorite Pool Idol: "Growing up it was
always Ewa, partly because she was the first woman pool player I had
ever seen on TV." |
|
| Taught by: "I was very lucky growing up
because I had a lot of coaching and advice both from friends and
professionals, but I would have to say that I've learned the most from
my dad, probably from just about every aspect of the game." |
|
| How did Tiffany start playing pool: "We had an eight foot table in
the basement of our house that was used by the whole family but my dad
and I tended to get the most use of it as I was growing up. My parents
then opened up a family billiard room when I was about 9 in the town I
grew up in (Madawaska). My dad entered me
in local competitions at the age of 9. I played in my first national
junior competition at the age of 12 and by my 13th birthday
I was given the opportunity to play in my first professional tournament
in 1993 in Charlotte, NC and less than one year later I was considered
a professional on the WPBA tour. I played part-time on the tour for
about 7 years while playing sports and going to school, and finally in
2000 while in my 2nd year of college I
became a regular touring professional on the WPBA. |
|
| What draws Tiffany to the game? "I love
the thrill of competing. From the day I learned to play nineball I
never wanted to play any other pool game. I feel like I'm always
learning and adding new things to my game." |
