[WolfGirl1980]

It seems that your league scores have gone up since you started posting here. That should give you some credibility when you offer advice to your teammates.

I think you should pass things along that you think will help your team. Be aware that they may choose not to take your advice for any number of reasons.

I often ignore advice during competition. Most of the time because the person is telling me something I already know, ( Your arm came across your body ),
without telling me how to fix it. Other times I have been given good advice, ( You're not getting your balance arm out ), but in focusing on fixing the problem I forget to keep my eyes on the target.

Try to not take it personally if they don't take the advice.

I tell my teammates all the time what I see them doing wrong and I have had teammates telll me. If they want to take advice fine,if not thats their choice. Sometimes we don't see what were doing wrong! Nice to have someone say "Hey why don't you try this?"

Thanks and by the looks of it I got my work cut out for me also. We got a two handed bowler who is not very accurate or conssistant, his name is Matt and we got one who may be good, his bowling coach is my cousin. I just found out that my cousin is a USBC Certified Coach eventhough, why she won't coach me is beyond me. Also my friend she is handicap like me but instead of mentally handicap, she is physically handicapped so she has to throw a straight ball cause she only got the use of one hand, but the fact that she can bowl at all amazes me, but, we just there to have fun, me, I am a serious bowler, I am the only one who bowls seriously, that I know of, I am there to have fun also, but of course, I am always there to bowl with some level of competitiveness.

How would I go about giving advice to a left handed bowler who throws a straight ball? and how would I go about giving advice to a 2 handed bowler cause that something I know nothing about I want to help my team if the two handed bowler shows up he's paid for five weeks in advance but didn't show up last week one hasn't shown up at all except for the meeting. The left handed bowler who throws the straight ball is my best friend so any advice I can pass along I would appreciate it.
