In our game, all you need is spirited bowling; the desire and determination to succeed.

With the drive to perform well regardless of the situations on the lanes you face, focus on your game strengths and reduce the anxiety or tension you would otherwise feel.

No need to getting into some mythical trance and get carried away with bowling mindlessly when the chips are on the line.

Instead, just get out of your own way. Trust your skills and your talent when bowling in meaningful competition.

If you feel tense before beginning a league game or a tournament, so what. Everyone gets excited or nervous and you are no different.

Simply breath in and out slowly and exhale before beginning your approach to release the tension.




Conscious thought aides in making decisions when playing the lanes or implementing strategies for competition.

Your bowling decisions come from conscious thought, from your brain and its reservoir of knowledge and data.

Good bowling performances, however, happen when you completely allow yourself to rely and trust in the messages your brain sends to your body.

So, take a deep breath or two, exhale slowly, and then focus on making a good shot.

Then another good shot, and so on.

You will find you have the power within to overcome emotions and bowl well when it counts most.

With determination and some old-fashioned spirited bowling, you can achieve success on the lanes.
