George Freeman's Expert Bowling Tips:

Highs And Lows
4/10/2000 - By George Freeman
In bowling, as in pretty much every other aspect of life, you have high points and low points. It's easy to get caught up in emotional dynamic when you are on the lanes. If you're bowling good, you feel invincible. When you're struggling, it can feel like the entire world is against you. Everyone, even the national tour players, bowl games in the 130s, so nobody's perfect. Don't get down on yourself for a bad set, bad game, bad frame, etc. Once the negative thoughts creep in, they will manifest themselves and turn a bad frame into three bad frames, into a bad game, into a bad set--you get the idea. The biggest fallacy I've heard in bowling is, "you're only as good as your last game." That's simply not true. If you are a 200 average bowler and you shoot 140, does that make you a 140 average player all of a sudden? NOT. Like I said, EVERYONE has a bad day, don't let it get to you.

Discuss your issues with bowlers who thrive on helping each other out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the Physical/Mental Game & Lane Conditions Forum at BowlingFans.com Message Board Community.
