That’s a Wrap
And just like that, league season is done. I finished up my second, spring league on Monday and now I have nothing but warm days and happiness ahead of me. Wasn’t exactly a happy matter the last few weeks of bowling. Though, it was a phenomenal learning experience and capped off a great experience over ...
Traveling
It’s been a while hasn’t it? The holidays are upon us and between Thanksgiving and Christmas, things become pretty hectic. I’m not making excuses for the lack of blog posts. Okay, I am. On top of the usual festivities, this is also the “we’re up to our eyeballs” time at work. So, bowling hasn’t been ...
A Whole New Approach
Visualization and online video watching are now key components of my training regiment.

Coaching — Session One
I was really nervous as I drove to my first coaching session. I knew I wasn’t very good, but the prospect of having someone tell me that very definitively just made it worse. That was balanced against the excitement of getting my very own bowling balls drilled for the first time. So, during the hour ...
