KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • If you don’t put your private life out there and you aren’t open, people make assumptions about you. This is why Ronnie believes he has spent so much of his career being misunderstood.
  • To be happy in life, Ronnie believes you must make the most of it and follow your passions. Everyone has bad times, but you have to accept them, heal and move on.
  • Ronnie has enjoyed seeing the changes in the game of snooker over the years, he is always trying to learn and improve his game.
  • Throughout all areas of his life Ronnie tries to be the eternal student. He always wants to learn and evolve as a person, not just a player.
  • Quitting when things were difficult or even boring was something Ronnie has learnt to overcome, to learn to be more patient when it matters.
  • Burnout is something Ronnie has struggled with before in his life. He took on too much and it all built up and hit him when he wasn’t expecting it.
  • Reinventing himself is how Ronnie has stayed top of his game all these years, including switching to playing to playing left-handed! He has no plans to stop anytime soon.
  • Being disciplined outside of the game helps Ronnie stay disciplined within the game and continue to play well.
  • Money doesn’t make you happy, but Ronnie believes it gives you choices and that can help create happiness.
  • In his time, Ronnie has learnt to be more mindful about what he says, looking at the bigger picture and being empathetic to the other person or opinion.
  • Self-doubt and worry are things Ronnie has had to deal with throughout his life, he finds that positive self-talk to himself when he is at the table helps him overcome it.
  • The most important asset you have is yourself, this is why Ronnie always believes in investing in himself.
