In a recent interview with Eurosport’s Rachel Casey, Ronnie O’Sullivan discussed his desire to find a “turbo button” to consistently perform at a high level. Despite his numerous victories in recent seasons, O’Sullivan remains focused on improving his game and achieving greater consistency. The snooker legend acknowledges that he has the ability to play at an exceptional level, but he wants to be able to access that level more frequently throughout matches.
O’Sullivan has been working with sports psychiatrist Steve Peters to unlock the key to consistency in his game. The partnership with Peters is aimed at helping O’Sullivan maintain his mental and physical fitness, allowing him to play at his best for longer periods during matches. The 48-year-old player recognizes the importance of finding a balance between bursts of exceptional play and sustained performance throughout a game.
While O’Sullivan is often considered one of the greatest snooker players of all time, he is not focused on achieving perfection in his game. Instead, he aims to play consistently well and enjoy the game. His goal is to hit the ball solidly and maintain a high level of play throughout matches, giving him a better chance of winning tournaments. As the World Championship gets underway, O’Sullivan remains determined to find his “turbo button” and elevate his game to new heights.
