 12 Keys To Personal Bowling Success
08/13/2005 - By Tom Blasco
Achievement Keys--------Consistency and Excellence---------Sport and Life.
- Models of Excellence: Use positive role models. Quality Achievers-living blueprints, inspiration, I like you - sharing; association; positive sensory observation; what we think about, see, hear, draw strength from past successes for confidence and fuels your fire for desire, dedication and determination.
- Positive Sensory Observations: What you see or hear is what you get.
- Sensory Goal Vision: Emotion provoking - trophies, hearing, names, TV, best of all players.
- Commitment to Excellence. Mastery of skills. Commitment to the shot you are making. Being in the NOW.
- Mastery of Fundaments: Adapt to change and conditions builds confidence; advantage over competition. Don't think about how to do a performance - only do performances.
- Develop and Use Successful Performance Strategies: Adapt to conditions; select the proper equipment; look for one break; review strategy - get the intelligent and strategic edge.
- Use of Mental Rehearsal: Before, during and after competition. Map out. See, hear and feel yourself in competition; minimize distractions to NO distractions. Sense motion; target and feel motion to reach goals. Defuse all negatives.
- Positive Use of Adrenaline. Nervousness is Anxiety. Relaxed to Perform Well; used to training athletes; Positive Adrenaline high; body mimics anxiety. Brain sharpens senses; quickens body response and lubricates joints for smooth flowing motion. Not knowing causes fear of failure. Learn to relax and use adrenaline. Listlessness and flat, get ready for peak performance.
- The AWE Factor: Never look up to or at competition. The legend, the star, the champion - he is you, no different.
- The Burning Desire to Win: Practice, play or competition, perform better each time out. Winning is a by-product. Winning reinforces winning, more improvement.
- Translate Failure to Success and Mistakes to Opportunities: No thing such as failure, why performed poorly and channel to correcting failure. Don't repeat.
- Love of Your Sport. Competition is a game; not life; maintain the desire to learn, improve, excel, win and have fun.
