As with everything in life,muscle memory is the key to the ability to repeat movements .
With bowling as with any sport, we must make repeated repetitions while training but,they must be
the correct movements otherwise this will lead to larger problems trying to retrain when things go wrong.
It take countless reps to reprogram our muscles to preform the correct movement.In most cases
it may take a few years if the habit was ingrained in our muscle memory long enough.Have you ever
tried to change one aspect in your game but it seems like it will never work.This is because
our body must preform the right movements thousands of times in order to correct the problem.
The best example of a elite athlete trying to change his game is Tiger Woods.Tiger is always working to improve his game,and at times he looks like nothing he does is working.Then when things kick in
you can see that what he worked on that is different and, is working.Tiger has a unreal training program.
He is up early exercising,practicing,then playing more than 18 holes per day when at home.If it takes him
time to correct things, imagine the time and effort it takes athletes that are not at that elite level.
