Rick Benoit is the MAN
« on: August 31, 2003, 01:33:19 AM »
I've seen him coach everyone from pros to normal league bowlers now, and I'm VERY impressed.  He sees stuff that I wouldn't have even thought of, and I consider myself pretty observant.  I may be a good coach, but his fine tuning is unbelievable.  He knows what he's talking about, and listening to him is mesmerising.  And man, lol, I haven't even mentioned Bob yet . .

The only difference between youth and adult leagues are that the big boys are allowed to whine.  They're more entertaining anyway.

i've met rick benoit three times at pba events and he's been very willing to answer my questions and give advice. for those of you who don't know who rick benoit is he is the brunswick ball rep on the pba tour. he and tom tomaras have helped me a great deal in getting the most out of brunswick equipment. in the october issue of bowling digest pba star chris barnes gives rick benoit a lot of credit for his success on tour. the bowling world is better off with guys like rick benoit.

Yeah, no doubt about that.  I was fortunate enough to see Rick Steelsmith and Lonnie Waliczek being coached by Rick, and given the respect that the pros have for him, that makes him as much or more of a "celebrity" than they are.

I'll be there too, maybe I'll see you.  I'm sure Bob Benoit will be around somewhere too, he knows just about all the pros.
