Use Your Personal Bowling History

By:bowlingball.com, 8/28/16

When you need to draw upon past winning performances and capture the feel and the energy when you bowled your best, use your personal bowling history to an advantage.

If you are experiencing a lull in your game, take a mental trip back to times when you were at the top of your game.

Visualization is one technique which can be useful. Focus on recalling a winning state of mind.

Ask your mind to see (mindsight) the physical motion and your mental frame of mind when you recorded a past peak performance.

Recapture the great physical game feel you had when you bowled well in the past.

Here are a few focal points to bring to the forefront of your mind:

*Focus on a good set up and on how to properly grip and position your bowling ball at stance.

*Focus on the tempo and direction of your steps during your approach.

*Focus on a well timed arm swing using little force during your release.

*Focus on holding your form at the foul line and be aware that maintaining good body balance throughout your approach is a key to accuracy and consistent shotmaking.

Visualization is an effective tool to rally your physical game skills and return to a high level of performance.

Default to your proven, winning physical game techniques and rely on what you do best when you are bowling your best.

The power of your mind can be an enormous advantage to your game if you tap into the energy derived from past, positive bowling performances.

Using the powers of your mind is the first and most important step in developing trust in your strategies and how you approach the game. All bowlers who have experienced past successes acknowledge the importance of trust and using positive mental game strategies to overcome the challenges encountered during competition. Strategies can apply to making the best adjustments on the lanes to both your physical game and in alignment to the pocket. Rely on your own personal history and use your powers within to get that winning feeling once again.
