Making Progress
« on: September 21, 2004, 04:44:45 AM »
Just wanted to share this with you guys.

As some of you know, I finally made the investment in a coach this summer. Before I started my lessons, my highest average coming off the winter leagues was a 178. Well, I worked with my coach all summer, finished my summer league at a 187 and now in each of my winter leagues am averaging 205 on Monday nights and 198 on Thursday. This is through 4 weeks. I have never been as consistent on the lanes as I have been as of late. I honestly wouldnt have pursued a coach if it werent for many of you beating it into the heads of others that a coach increases ones game, not a new ball!! I am glad I made the investment and am shooting for my first 700 this year and to keep the average at or above 200 for the whole season.

I will keep you all updated as the season progresses.

SUPER...be sure and keep in touch with your coach, if possible, cross talk and feedback are great learning tools,...keep us posted.

Yeah, my coach and I have developed a great relationship. He invited me to bowl on his team for Nationals!! I still have quite a few lessons left with him before the package is done. Even after that, I will still see him for routine "check ups" and "tune ups". Plus its nice to have someone there when you start to struggle.

Rock77--Hopefully you have a tape of before you started with coaching.  It's really an eye opener if you refer back to where you started to where you are or will be.

Yes, I got a 10 lesson package with 2 additonal video sessions. We already taped the first session so I should have that one soon. The second one will probably be taped over the next month or so.

Rock 77: Great work and please keep us up to date on your progress. I think I need to seek out the services of a coach as I'm in a weird spare shooting slide (some nights I miss only one, other nights I'm missing 4 to 5 easy ones) and I think a tune up is in order to get this back on track.
