  • >>6-TIME US OPEN CHAMPION,

  • 2008 DOUBLES WORLD CHAMPION,

  • 2-TIME ALL-AROUND CHAMPION

  • & 7 TIME MOSCONI CUP MEMBER.

  • JUST A FEW OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  • THAT THE CURRENT #1 POOL PLAYER

  • IN THE UNITED STATES HAS ACHIEVED,

  • SHANE VAN BOENING TURNED PRO IN 2006,

  • HE NOT ONLY HAS BROUGHT HOME A LOT OF HARDWARE,

  • BUT HAS ALSO GAINED PRAISE AND RESPECT

  • BY POOL PLAYERS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

  • SHANE SAYS THAT COMES FROM A LOT OF HARD WORK.

  • >>AFTER COMPETING IN ALL THESE TOURNAMENTS,

  • I DECIDED THAT, YOU KNOW,

  • I'M GONNA HAVE TO WORK HARDER FOR MYSELF AND DEDICATE MYSELF, TO PRACTICE,

  • AND TO GET TO WHERE I AM AT RIGHT NOW,

  • IT TAKES ABOUT 6 TO 8 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK.

  • I WORK REAL HARD AND DEDICATE MYSELF.

  • AND JUST WANT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST POOL PLAYERS IN THE WORLD.

  • >>SHANE WAS NICKNAMED EARLY ON IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER

  • BY HIS FELLOW COMPETITORS.

  • >>ALL THE SUDDEN I HEAR PEOPLE GOING,

  • OH, THERE'S A KID FROM SOUTH DAKOTA,

  • UM...HE PLAYS PRETTY GOOD AND UM...

  • EVERYTIME WHEN I WALKED INTO A POOL ROOM AROUND THE COUNTRY,

  • THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW MY REAL NAME,

  • THEY JUST KNOW THAT I'M KNOWN AS THE SOUTH DAKOTA KID.

  • >>VAN BOENING HAS BEEN PLAYING POOL ALL OF HIS LIFE.

  • GROWING UP IN RAPID CITY, SHANE LEARNED EARLY ON

  • THAT HE WAS DESTINED TO BE THE BEST.

  • >>AS A CHILD, I USED TO SIT IN A BABY CHAIR

  • AND WATCH PEOPLE PLAY POOL IN THE POOLROOM.

  • AND UM...I WATCHED MY FAMILY PLAY POOL

  • AND I WATCHED MY FRIENDS.

  • >>THIS KID WAS SO ENTERTAINING, LIKE I SAY AT 2 YEARS OLD,

  • HE JUST SEEMED TO KNOW EVERTHING

  • THAT YOU SHOULD BE KNOWING WHEN YOUR 18.

  • HE JUST IMMEDIATELY PICKED UP BY WATCHING.

  • >>GARY BLOOMBERG, SHANES GRANDFATHER,

  • OWNED A STRING OF POOL HALLS WHEN SHANE WAS YOUNG.

  • ALTHOUGH SHANES LOVE FOR POOL PROBABLY STARTED THERE,

  • IT WAS A GIFT FROM HIS GRANDFATHER THAT SEEMED TO CATCH HIS EYE.

  • >>AT CHRISTMAS TIME, I BOUGHT HIM THIS MINIATURE TABLE,

  • AND HE HAD ALL HIS TOYS OUT THERE, AND WHEN HE GOT TO THE POOL TABLE

  • WHICH WAS WRAPPED UP, THE MINUTE HE TORE THAT,

  • HE DROPPED ALL OF HIS TOYS, I HANDED HIM THE CUE,

  • PUT THE BALLS ON THE TABLE, AND INCIDENTALLY HE MADE HIS FIRST SHOT.

  • AND HE'S BEEN MAKING THEM A LOT SINCE... BELIEVE ME.

  • >>SHANE AND HIS GRANDFATHER ATTENDED LOCAL TRADE SHOWS

  • WHERE THEY PERFORMED TRICK-SHOT EXHIBITIONS.

  • THIS IS WHERE GARY KNEW THAT HIS GRANDSON WAS MEANT TO PLAY POOL.

  • >>TO ME THAT WAS SO CUTE, I BOUGHT HIM A LITTLE SUIT,

  • PUT THE TIE ON HIM, HE WAS SO PROUD.

  • HE COULDN'T WAIT TO GET UP THERE, PEOPLE WOULD GATHER AROUND,

  • HE COULDN'T WAIT TO GET TO THE TABLE AND SHOOT THE SHOTS.

  • HE JUST LOVED IT, I ALMOST HAD TO DRAG HIM AWAY FROM THE TABLE.

  • >>SHANES MOTHER, TIMI BLOOMBERG, WAS AN OUTSTANDING

  • POOL PLAYER HERSELF. DOMINATING THE STATE TOURNAMENTS

  • WITH HER SISTER AND HER MOTHER. THE WHOLE FAMILY

  • MADE POOL PLAYING A BIG PART OF THEIR LIVES

  • AND SHANE WAS NO DIFFERENT. OR WAS HE?

  • WHEN HE WAS JUST 16 MONTHS OLD, TIMI'S FRIEND

  • NOTICED SOMETHING ABOUT SHANE, THAT WOULD CHANGE THEIR LIVES FOREVER.

  • >>A FRIEND OF MINE CAME OVER AND SHE ASKED ME WHERE SHANE WAS

  • AND I STOMPED ON THE FLOOR AND I YELLED HIS NAME,

  • AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "WHY DID YOU STOMP ON THE FLOOR".

  • I SAID, "I DIDN'T". SHE SAID, "YEAH YOU DID".

  • AND THEN SHE SAID, "HE CAN'T HEAR".

  • >>SHANE WAS BORN WITH NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF HEARING IN BOTH EARS.

  • >>A NORMAL CONVERSATION, LIKE THIS, WOULD BE AT AROUND 30 TO 40

  • AND WITHOUT HEARING AIDS, SHANE HEARS AT 80 TO 85.

  • SO WITH HIS HEARING AIDS, I THINK IT BRING IT DOWN TO ABOUT 30,

  • SO THERES STILL THAT LOWER PART OF A CONVERSATION THOUGH.

  • >>IT WASN'T EASY GROWING UP WITH A HEARING IMPAIRMENT.

  • SHANE FOUND COMFORT IN THE GAME OF POOL.

  • >>MY HEARING IMPAIRMENT WHEN I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL,

  • THERE WAS A LOT OF BULLIES IN MY DAYS.

  • AND WHEN I GO PLAY POOL, IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD FOR ME,

  • WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.

  • >>IN GRADE SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTED SHANE

  • TO USE A FM SYSTEM TO PIPE THE TEACHERS AUDIO INTO SHANES EARS

  • BUT TIMI THOUGHT THAT WOULD LABEL HIM AS HANDICAPPED,

  • AND WANTED HIM TO LEARN AND FUNCTION BY HIMSELF.

  • WE HAD DIFFERENT BATTLES WHILE HE WAS GROWING UP,

  • BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO TREAT HIM HANDICAPPED,

  • AND I WANTED HIM TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMAL.

  • THE WAY HE ARTICULATES NOW IS PRETTY GOOD,

  • AS SEVERE AS HEARING LOSS THAT HE HAS.

  • >>SHANE SAYS THIS HELPED HIM LEARN HOW TO SPEAK

  • AND COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS,

  • BUT WHERE HE REALLY LEARNED TO COMMUNICATE,

  • WAS AT THE POOL HALL.

  • >>WHAT HELPED ME THE MOST IS THAT, WHEN I GREW UP IN A POOLROOM,

  • I GREW UP WITH MY FRIENDS AND THIS IS WHERE

  • I GET MY BETTER COMMUNICATION WITH PEOPLE.

  • OTHERWISE, MOST HEARING IMPAIRED PEOPLE OUT THERE YOU KNOW,

  • THEY DON'T REALLY SPEAK VERY WELL.

  • >>SOME SAY THE HEARING IMPAIRMENT

  • IS AN ADVANTAGE DURING A POOL MATCH.

  • >>HE'S SO FOCUSED IT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, REALLY.

  • IF HE WAS HEARING OR HE WASN'T.

  • >>IF I HAVE AN IMPORTANT MATCH, IF I REALLY WANT TO WIN,

  • I USUALLY TURN THEM OFF. ITS JUST COMPLETELY DIFFERENT,

  • SITUATION WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO HEAR ANY NOISES OR DISTRACTIONS.

  • A LOT OF PROFESSIONAL POOL PLAYERS ARE COMPLAINING

  • THAT I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING WHEN I'M PLAYING POOL AND THEY DO.

  • AND , COUPLE YEARS AGO, THEY ALL MADE A RULE WHERE,

  • YOU KNOW, ITS NOT FAIR. AND THE LAST COUPLE YEARS,

  • I LEAVE THEM ON, THAT WAY I DON'T FEEL BAD FOR OTHER PEOPLE,

  • I JUST TRY TO MAKE IT FAIR FOR EVERYBODY.

  • >>I THINK ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I'VE EVER HEARD HIM SAY,

  • WAS WHEN ONE OF HIS OPPONENTS SAID, "WELL YEAH, YOU SHOULD WIN,

  • YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OUTSIDE INTERFERENCES AT ALL".

  • SHANE SAYS, "PUT ON EAR PLUGS, YOU'LL BE JUST LIKE ME"...Hmm.

  • >>BEING A ROLE MODEL ISN'T SOMETHING SHANE ASPIRES TO DO,

  • BUT SOMETHING HE HAS GROWN INTO BECAUSE OF HIS HARD WORK,

  • HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS OTHERS AND THE RESPECT FROM HIS FELLOW COMPETITORS.

  • HE'S ALSO A ROLE MODEL

  • FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED, SOMETHING HE LOOKS FORWARD TO PERSUING

  • INTO THE FUTURE.

  • >>THE ROLE MODEL THING THAT HE'S GOT GOING ON WITH THAT,

  • ITS NOT JUST THAT...OH, LITTLE KIDS CAN LOOK UP TO HIM AND GO OH,

  • I WANT TO BE A WORLD CHAMPION LIKE HIM.

  • HOW ABOUT ALL THE HANDICAPPED KIDS THAT CAN LOOK AND GO,

  • YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T HAVE TO BE HANDICAPPED,

  • I CAN ACTUALLY FUNCTION NORMAL, AND DO NORMAL THINGS,

  • AND UTILIZE A DISABILITY,

  • SO THAT I HAVE MORE ABILITY IN SOME OTHER AREA.

  • SO, SHANE'S A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR THINGS LIKE THAT.

  • >>I WANT TO HELP OTHER HEARING IMPAIRED KIDS

  • AND HAVE THEM HAVE A GOOD FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES,

  • AND LET THEM KNOW THAT, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT,

  • AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME.

>>6-TIME US OPEN CHAMPION,
