Concentration During Practice...
« on: October 18, 2005, 10:36:38 AM »
I don't know about you guys, but I can't get psyched up to concentrate enough during practice.  I go through the same routines as league and I know I'm there to shoot, have a consistent release and not to worry about scoring, but I can't seen to get myself to concentrate to shoot even an entire game with caring alot.  It drives me insane, I'll just rush or whatever.  League is no problem, I'm psyched, I'm into it, it's completely different and understandably so.  Any of you guys have the same problem?


Thanks,
Jeff

Here here. Unless I'm bowling against someone head to head, I cant really push myself to do my best. Leagues are almost starting to be like that too. Tournaments are the best. It might be the adrenaline or something but I'm always psyched up when I'm bowling them. Makes me bowl better. A good thing.

same here, when you're bowling by yourself you rush yourself because you have nothing else to do, you watch the game zip by and your performance often declines, league is a different story, i find myself more focused for league, ESPECIALLY TRAVEL, YOUR PUMPED AND WANT TO DO YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST TO HELP THE TEAM AND BEAT YOUR OPPONENT, YOU ALSO TAKE PRIDE IN REPRESENTING THE CENTER YOU BOWL FOR, SO FOR ME NO ADRENALINE RUSH IS BETTER

I am going through the same thing, but in league.  If I am not pushed by the other team to score high to win, then I have no motivation to shoot high scores.  In recent years I have watched several 300 games rolled by bowlers throwing the ball through the head pin and brooklyn side.  Honor scores don't motivate me today like they did 10 years ago.

Concentration..........hmmmmmm.  Gotta try this one.  I have a tough time caring about whom I bowl against, much less practice.  Glad to know that there are so many of us suffering through the same thing.
I love you guys
