Bowl Expo in Vegas June 25 - 28.  I'll be attending this year as part of the Coaching Summit.  I don't know what will be released, but I am looking forward to attending.

If you are going to BowlExpo come to the USBC Ball Motion study on June 24th at 1pm in the Mandalay Bay.

Can you give me more info like do you have to get a ticket or anything or can anyone just drop in?

I don't know if I can make it but I am trying to figure out a way. I have to be in Reno the 20th and 21st.

Bowl great!

I am not sure, I'm just the one presenting it. I'm pretty sure it is open to all BowlExpo participants, and I'm not sure if the general public can attend, I'm not in charge I'm just the one answering questions.

Magic Carpet-I'm taking the IBPSIA advanced class and I am pretty sure both the basic and advanced class is the 20th through the 23rd.

We will be there for nearly 2 weeks this year.  Starting on the 20th we have IBPSIA Classes.  I'll be taking the HOTS technical and Sandra will be taking the HOTS Business courses.  After that we will be at the Coaches Summit and plan to attend both Pro Shop and Coaching events.  At the BowlExpo our booth will be on the right side of the hall, booth 1144.  Drop by and see us!  Usually Expo runs around $100 to get into and there is a few restrctions that have to be met.  For those interested in knowing:

I only know that's the way I get to go.  My coach told me to make sure and visit.  There is a lot of good information to gain for attending.

I think this will be my 5th year at the summit.  It is probably they only place in the world where you can sit in lectures with the legends of the sport and the pros.  I remember one of my first classes with Dr. Dean.  I was in class with Dick Weber and Carmen Salvino.  The information is awesome and usually there is a lot of it.  As for enterance to the BowlExpo it is an added bonus.

That's what my coach has told me.  I am looking forward to the experience, the first of many I am sure.

That had to have been amazing.  I really am looking forward to the Dr Dean seminar/class.  His book has helped me with my own personal mental game.  I've also been working with a few of my Juniors on their mental game.

If you like Dr. Dean's book you may want to get Dr. Eric Lassers book.  It is much more detailed.  The book covers a lot more.  Look for:

The Handbook of Bowling Psychology by Lasser, Borden and Edwards.

Is Bowl Expo basically an auto show for bowling equipment?

Got it and read it also!  The first summer I was with my coach he assigned the Focused for Bowling for homework.  Last summer he assigned the Lesser, Borden, Edwards book.  Both are excellent!
