Allison Fisher - Part 4 (Shifting Gears, Finding Greatness)
In the fourth installment of our exclusive five-part conversation with Hall of Fame legend Allison Fisher, the “Duchess of Doom” takes us deeper into the pivotal chapter of her remarkable journey—from reigning queen of women’s snooker in the UK to chasing a new challenge across the Atlantic in the world of professional pool.
With candor and clarity, Allison shares the emotional and professional crossroads that led her to leave behind a dominating career in snooker to test her skills against the best in the U.S. pool scene. We explore the boldness behind that decision, the cultural and competitive differences between the two worlds, and the self-belief that fueled her transformation from UK icon to global cue sports phenomenon.
Listeners will gain a front-row seat to the early trials and eventual triumphs Allison experienced as she carved out her place on the WPBA Tour—ultimately becoming one of the most decorated champions in pool history. Through insightful conversation with her co-hosts, she reflects on the mindset shift required, the trail she blazed for women in the sport, and the pressure of maintaining dominance at the highest level.
This episode offers not only a look at Allison Fisher's technical brilliance, but also the resilience, ambition, and quiet tenacity that define her enduring legacy in cue sports. It’s a portrait of a competitor who never settled, always evolved, and changed the game on two continents.
Join us for this inspiring continuation of an extraordinary life in sport, as we celebrate the moments that shaped a true legend.
