There are few things on this Earth more powerful than knowledge. Knowledge builds competence and confidence - two critically important things in bowling. In today’s world, there are many places to get that knowledge, with some being better than others. We just have to sift through and get what is right for us. Seeking out that knowledge may not be easy, but finally getting it and then incorporating it into our games will have an undoubtedly positive effect on our performances. The best advice is to seek out a qualified coach initially to get a game plan put together for you. Then this coach can direct you to other resources to help you take that plan to the next level. One program that I am involved with and highly recommend is the USBC Coaching Bronze and Silver Training classes. Although coaches benefit tremendously from them, they are not just for coaches. There are usually a handful of people in the class that are just there to get knowledge to help with their own games. So, if you are not sure where to locate the best source of knowledge for you, consider taking a USBC Coaching class. You can get more information and register at: www.bowl.com/coaching.

Bowling Beyond The Basics was released in July 2018 and still continues to be a number one bestseller on Amazon. James Freeman and I have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we are still receiving from people who have read the book. We have heard from bowlers of all skill levels and coaches who say it has changed the way they look at our sport. We used a lot of science and math to show what is really happening on the lanes and what bowlers can do about it. There is not as much bad luck in our sport as we have always thought. In fact, there is so much good luck that most often times we don’t even recognize it. We examine how revs are really achieved, what the true pocket actually is, how important ball weight is to pin carry, and much much more. If you haven’t read the book yet, we hope you will.
