A world-class competitor. A master of both hands. One of Canada’s most accomplished professionals.

John Morra joins The Boom & Freezer Show for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation about his career in pool, from representing his country on the world stage to evolving his game at the highest level. John breaks down how and why he developed the rare ability to play with both hands, the physical demands professional pool places on the body, and the injuries and medical challenges players often don’t talk about.

But this episode goes deeper than tournament wins and mechanics. John opens up about the personal battles that shaped him, the lessons learned through adversity, and the mindset required to rebuild, refocus, and keep competing.
