Practice Practice Practice

Wow, bowling season has started already!!! First 2 weeks has been great so far. I think we are really going to have a great team this year and even better team next year as we have no Seniors this year.

An observation that Coach Tapscott and I had made was how obvious it was to us who has been practicing all summer and who had not. I travel to a LOT of bowling tournaments and talk to a lot of parents and a lot of players. There's one thing that separates the good bowlers from the great bowlers. That one thing is practice. Now, be careful that you are able to distinguish bowling from practicing.

It's not uncommon for great bowlers to practice every single day, Winter, Summer, Fall and Spring, and especial on vacation.

Practice on different parts of the lane, practice different skills, create goals for yourself and practice at different houses.

Also, when practicing, be especially aware of what you did right and what you did wrong on every single shot. If you don't analyze each shot then you are just bowling and not practicing. If you need help knowing how to properly practice find me and I'll give you some pointers.
