New WST Podcast Episode With Hammad Miah

Snooker Club with Stephen Hendry & Mark Watson - A podcast by World Snooker Tour

Hammad Miah gives an insight into the challenges that players face when they first turn professional, in the new episode of the WST Podcast. World number 71 Miah first gained his tour card in 2013 when, at the age of 19, he came through Q School. ”There’s a huge misconception about turning pro,” he told Michael McMullan. ”Our dream is to get on to the tour, but that is only five percent of the journey. I was thinking I could have a very good future ahead of me in snooker. You grow up seeing the big names on TV, then all of a sudden you are playing against them. It all happened too fast, I didn’t have time for it to soak in.
