If there is a solution to this challenge it is to rely on your bowling assets and avoid trying to do more than you are able to do well when bowling competitively.
If you are not physically able, as example, to deliver your ball with more revs or with more speed than you routinely do and still be accurate, then gear it down a notch or two and stay within your best abilities.
It is better to be accurate than have power but not be able to control the powerful release.
It is better to use a medium ball speed range and have control than try to amp up your speed to a point where your control suffers.
The same can be stated regarding your ball reaction. Being an effective player in competition means that you must understand when to rely strictly on your own ball reaction and avoid getting caught up in how others are bowling.
Rely on your adjustments which have proven to work well in the past instead of trying new things in competition out of desperation.
You can learn things by watching bowlers nearby your pair of lanes, however, if these bowlers have a style close to your own and if these bowlers are performing well and getting a good ball reaction.
When you need to make decisions on playing the lanes such as switching bowling balls, making delivery angle changes, or changing ball speed, as examples, you likely should likely trust in what you know you can do instead of what you think you can do or instead of what others are doing.
Sometimes your success in bowling is merely trusting what you have trained yourself to do and in having the self-reliance to use your own techniques when bowling in leagues or tournaments.
The point is to keep your eyes open when you need to make an adjustment decision and then bowl within your abilities.
Trying to do more than you have practiced or are capable of doing can prove counterproductive and may lead to a series of errant deliveries. Know your own game and when to focus only on making one good shot at a time. Making changes to your game during competition is acceptable if you have practiced new techniques and can easily rely on them when needed. Stick with what you do best, take dead aim at your sight target each and every shot, and then make one good shot at a time.
