It has been forever since I have been truly motivated to bowl but I am finally ready to jump back into it. My expectations are a lot higher than the current state of my game. I am on the hunt for someone to take a fresh new look at my game and help me with some on-lane lessons. Looking for a top-level coach that is willing to really work with me. I have had some great coaches in the past and I am just looking for a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at my game and help me get back to the level I am looking to get at.
If anyone knows anyone in the St. Charles/St. Louis area please let me know. I have video I can provide before we work on the lanes for the first time if that would be easier or we can just jump right in to it. I do work m-f 8-5ish so I will need someone available either nights or weekends.
Thank you,

P.s. It might of helped to give a little history of my bowling experience.......
I grew up in a bowling alley as my family bowled but I did not take it serious till I was about 15. I was lucky enough to have some early success in Southern California and got early exposure to tougher patterns. In 05 I got the deal to come out to Lindenwood where I was given the chance by Randy and was on the A team for 4 years. Was never the best on the team but was always in the mix. Got a lot of good experience and great coaching from Randy Lightfoot, Eddie Byrd, Larry Earnest and the late Mike Halwe. Pretty much bowled on non-house shot patterns for 5-6 years straight. After college in 2010 I took almost a full year off from being burnt out. Last year I tried to get back into it but since I still worked weekends I did not have much motivation since tournaments were out of the question. Since then my swing is awful and I feel like I throw it different every time I step on the lanes. I have had some success lately with being lucky enough to being apart of the 5 man team that broke the world record and having a couple other honor scores too. And now that I am free on the weekends I am motivated to get back to where I was and hopefully even better.
Consider me a project of sorts. Like I said, if you know anyone that would be willing to help me, please contact me.
