Change of footwork, timing

[DLP]

The way I determined I wanted coaching.... I asked myself (and answered the following).

1) Do I want to get better?
If the answer is yes go to the next question - if no see the last statement
2) Do I owe it to myself to get better at something I enjoy?
If the answer is yes go to the next question - if no see the last statement
3) Do I want to learn from someone other than my significant other, who in my case can tell me what I'm doing wrong but can't tell me how to fix it?
If the answer is yes go to the next question - if no see the last statement
4) Do I someday want to be better than my hubby?
If the answer is Hell, yes! - GET A COACH - if no see the last statement

Last statement: Then quit being frustrated and just enjoy the game!!!

I'll show it to her Donna, thanks.

Bob, I've begged her to see a coach. not because I care how good/bad she bowls, but because she gets so frustrated when she does poorly.

Sadly, she is unwilling.

If you ever figure out the secret to this let me know...I need it for my husband.

Well, I decided to go with the 5-step change from Thursday's coaching and I can say that I plan to stay with it - but, I didn't bowl all that well on Friday. I was 50 pins under average, but I think I was concentrating to hard on my feet instead of just going with it. Also, I felt I was controlling my swing and I couldn't seem to quit. I can't feel too bad though because out of 8 people on the lanes - no one made there average overall. Our team was 200 under average and we still won all 7 points in a 100% handicap league (was only 19 pin difference, though).

Looking forward to Tuesday night to see what transpires. At least I feel more inclined to go bowl than I did a few weeks ago when I was really bowling poorly - and couldn't get a clue on what to fix.
