Always Strive For Excellence  All coaches will always advocate keeping a positive mental attitude when you're bowling whether you're practicing or in competition . I'd like to add another thought to that by urging you to commit yourself to striving for excellence in all aspects of your bowling game. Checklist For Focusing  Regardless of where you are with your bowling today, realize that we live in a very negative world. If you take a look around and start listening to what people are saying, you'll be surprised at how much negativity there is being fed to you on a constant basis. Dealing With Stress  Understand that it will happen to you and therefore, you have to learn what your personal responses are to certain stresses and pressures. This is not so you can stop it; but, you want to be aware of it and intervene as best as you can to minimize their effects. Developing Your PreShot Routine  Bar none, every top professional has a certain procedure that they follow, step-by-step, prior to executing their shot or entering the game. Keep Your Mind Clear  While I did not win the tournament, I ended up in second place under some very tough conditions. I credit my mental attitude for helping me get as far as I did because I never really got lined up at anytime and my three bowling balls really only performed so-so throughout the day. Self Talk For Concentrating  I like to think of myself as a positive-thinking person; but, darn if there haven't been many times where I have talked myself into doing poorly when I've bowled. What makes us do it? Visualization  Visualization should be a part of every bowler's game in order to develop their competitiveness and raise their average. Working On Your Mental GAme  Are you practicing regularly but are still having trouble improving your bowling scores and average? Have you sought out a bowling coach but feel it's not worth it because you're still not getting any better? Don't be your own worst enemy.
