The International Tenpin Bowling Coaches Associates is a convergence of passion and frustration. All too often, too few have access to current information and others will not share it. Moreover, I wanted to faciliate something that is truly open and not politically or profit motivated. The main objective of this effort is to bring together some of the most knowledgeable people in the bowling world (coaches, manufacturers, trainers, etc.) to share their insight in an effort to improve coaching around the world. The topics will focus on many subjects including technical topics related to bowling balls and lanes, team training methods, evaluation of players, etc. With such a decentralization of ideas, the bowling world will be a better place and more coaches will possess a new set of ideas to implement. With this in mind, you will hear from some new voices which will open new horizons.

The ITBCA will not have a membership fee or charge for access to this articles. I have donated the web space to host this initiative. Contributors have been informed that the goal is one article per year to serve the purpose of keeping ideas fresh as well as to not burden any single contributor.

Interesting, a few have declined an invitation to share their insight. I am very thankful to those who have contributed to our first newsletter. I hope it gets you to think.

Bowl1820.....Great newsletter by a great coach. Just read several articles and they are an excellent source of information. The one from Storm about the "Big Miss" should probably be posted here. A lot of questions/problems that the bowlers have on this site concern consistency. This article focuses on one aspect that people never really regard. Thanks for letting us know.

Bob, I read that same article first. I'm still convinced that Hank Boomershine and Del Ballard are why Storm wins so many tournaments.
