Following defeats for Mark Allen and Shaun Murphy, The Break chats snooker psychology as it analyses the latest action from the World Snooker Championship.     Host Rachel Casey is joined by former world number three Neal Foulds, commentator Dave Hendon and performance coach Chris Henry. He is helping ‘rewire’ Mark Selby, a player who Hendon thinks “didn’t look like he was enjoying a single minute” of his first round win.    Henry also works with Shaun Murphy and says he sensed that the 2005 champion “was not right emotionally” for his defeat.    There’s also discussion about whether Mark Allen’s chat settled the nerves of Crucible debutant Jamie Clarke, before a Clarke victory that Neal Foulds describes as “one of the biggest shocks at the Crucible.”    Subscribe for more episodes of The Break during the World Championship, and rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
