Public Appearances
Last but not least, Huber has made it his mission to popularise the sport of billiards in Germany. According to his own statements, he is striving to establish the sport of billiards in society as a precision sport rather than its traditional pub image. In doing so, he benefits from the many years of media attention he has received as a coach. For example, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Bayerischer Rundfunk and ZDF have always kept an eye on Huber. But just like these broadcasters, sports broadcasters have also hired Huber as an expert during special billiards sporting events (like Mosconi Cup), such as Eurosport or Dazn.
