The mental game is something I have a huge problem with. If I throw the first three strikes of a game, the thought crosses my mind "what if this game is the one," and I proceed to throw a bad shot. This is not always the case, but it happens a lot. So my question is this: how can I overcome the internal struggle of bowling? How can I condition my mind to just throw one shot at a time? I do not get nervous in close games. More often than not I will finish very strong in the tenth, whether the game is close or not. If I can condition my mind for one shot at a time, that will only improve though.

I may just buy it. thank you

Yes, buy it.  You can get it on store.vook.com, or at Amazon if you have a Kindle, as a Nook book from Barnes and Noble, or you can order a copy from their website, which is for some reason insanely hard to find, lol.  I found it once on the computer at the shop and bookmarked it there, but google and bing aren't helping me here at all.  Could you post a link Rico?

Buy our book Head Games-the Mental Approach to Bowling (and Sports) it covers issues such as this as well as other issues athletes contend with during competition

Yeah they sell copies on their website, but it's ridiculously hard to find.  PM Rico, he should be able to link you to the website. 

I tried to buy a hard copy and cannot find it anywhere, only downloads, which I do not like to use. Anybody know of a on line store that sells them or book store?
Goggle is of no help or bing.
Thanks

See and that's what's crazy about it, that's where I thought it was, but I typed that in and my browser automatically took me to a search engine . . don't get it. 

Sorry about the difficulty...go to www.HYBowlingConcepts.com...buy now button at the top

Thanks

Make sure you hit enter and not click 'search'.  A fairly common mistake because Windows and Internet Explorer make the biggest button a 'search' rather than a 'go'.

Enter should do the trick.

I feel like i'm actually working at work. 

We are working on the issues with locating...not quite optimum not being able to be found when being looked for (:

Usually when I am on a nice string, whenever I start my approach, no matter how much I am concentrating on my mark, something stupid crosses my mind like "I hope I make this shot," or most recently "Why does it feel like I have a wet spot on my face?" Does this book cover a way to condition my mind to not do stuff like that?
