Professional pool player
JaniSiekkinen
Finnish 8-ball champion, 2018. Still competing internationally.
I have played pool for a living since 2013. The same precision I compete with comes to your session, your company event and the night your crew keeps talking about.

Why book me
A working pro at the table
I don't sell a course or a ready-made package. I coach at the same table I compete on, and I watch you play before I say anything. Then we fix the stroke, the tempo and the decisions: the things that break when the match tightens and a technique drill is no longer enough.
- 01
1-to-1
One player, one table, the whole session built around you. The content follows what your own game reveals. You are not sitting through a general lecture.
- 02
Shows
Christmas parties, kickoffs and private nights. Shots you don't see in every hall, plus enough guidance that everyone in the room gets to play themselves.
- 03
Sponsor
Tour, social and jerseys. Your mark travels to where the matches are, and the footage comes from real events, not from stock photos.
- 04
Helsinki
Regularly in the Helsinki region, elsewhere in Finland and abroad by agreement. I can also come to your tables.
What you can book
01Coaching
A private session or a small group where everyone gets the same attention. We work through stroke, tempo and decisions and fix what breaks when the match tightens. You leave knowing exactly what to practise next.
02Events
Private nights, Christmas parties and company days where the programme actually happens. Exhibition shots first, then cues in your guests' hands and a short brief, including for the people who have never played.
03Repairs
Tip, ferrule and shaft put right so the cue feels like yours again. Tell me what happened and you get an estimate of the work and the timeline before anything is touched.
04GameOn
Jerseys for your own game, your club or your crew. Sizes and stock move, so send size and quantity through the form and I'll come back with price and delivery.
05Partners
Tour, social and jerseys give you visibility that comes out of real matches. Say what you want to achieve and what you bring, and we build a partnership whose result both of us can see.
Good to know
Before the first shot
Venue, level and format are always shaped around your situation, so you don't need to know anything in advance. Here are the questions that come up most often. If yours isn't on the list, just ask through the form.
01Where do you coach?
Regularly in the Helsinki region and elsewhere in Finland by agreement. We can play at a hall you already know or find a suitable table, and house calls and longer trips are arranged case by case.
02What is a private session?
An hour at the table, just the two of us, not a lecture. I watch how you play first, then we work on the place where the game leaks. You leave with a clear practice plan you can run on your own.
03Absolute beginner?
Yes, and many are. Fundamentals sit on their own track: grip, stance and cue-ball control taken calmly and in order. Tournament players have a separate path, so nobody spends their time at the wrong level.
04Companies?
Absolutely. The programme is built around group size and the length of the evening so that first-timers play too. Tables are needed: the venue can be yours, or we find a suitable hall together.
05What's in an event?
The price depends on the venue, the duration and the size of the group, so every event gets its own quote. Put the venue, headcount and date on the form and you'll get a clear price without extra rounds.
06Video analysis online?
Yes. You film your shots on a phone and send the clips; I send back specific corrections and drills in priority order. It works well if you live outside the Helsinki region.
07Sponsorship?
Very much so. Read the partners page, then say on the form which brand you represent, what you want to achieve and what you expect: jerseys, social or the tour. I'll propose something measurable in return.
