• Comment: Coaches of any type of sports should meet WP:GNG. Aside from the fact that I can't see that, I used a specific notability guideline WP:NATH, still I can't find. Is this same person the body builder or engineer? Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 12:55, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Andreas Huber (2012)

Andreas Huber (* 9 February 1969 in Dachau) is a German former pool player and pool coach. Huber is best known as a former German national coach and European coach,[1] but also as the coach of the „Bundesliga pool team BSVDachau".[2]

Both as a coach and as a player, Huber has celebrated various successes, for example when Ralf Souquet won the gold medal for Germany at the 2009 Wordgames under Huber's guidance.[3]

Andreas Huber was born in Dachau in 1969. He attended Dachau primary school until 1979 before graduating in 1988. He studied automotive engineering at the University of Munich until 1996. In 1999, he founded his Billiard Academy in Dachau (BAD), one of the first billiard schools in the world, with the aim of using innovative training methods to improve the teaching, application and understanding of the sport of billiards.[4] In 2001, he took over the management of M's Billiards in Dachau. In 2002, Huber was finally appointed national coach by the DBU, the German Billiards Union. He held this position until the beginning of 2015. On 1 December 2017, Huber was honoured by the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, Joachim Herrmann, for special services to Bavarian sport.[5]

Public Appearances

edit

Last but not least, Huber has made it his mission to popularise the sport of billiards in Germany. According to his own statements, he is striving to establish the sport of billiards in society as a precision sport rather than its traditional pub image.[8][9][10]In doing so, he benefits from the many years of media attention he has received as a coach. For example, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Bayerischer Rundfunk and ZDF have always kept an eye on Huber.[11][12]But just like these broadcasters, sports broadcasters have also hired Huber as an expert during special billiards sporting events (like Mosconi Cup), such as Eurosport or Dazn.[13][14]
