I usually bowl better under pressure. If it's a close game I usually finish the 10th strong. I have always been this way. Maybe because I was always the top 1 or 2 bowlers on our team and top 5 in our league. Not the case now since my return but I always had that confidence that I was the man. I always had a bit of cockiness about it too. Not to others but more to psyche myself up. My saying used to be 'it's hammer time' (from the old MC Hammer days). I started saying it again but it doesn't quite have the same effect it did then...lol).
I did notice that if I have a positive themed song in my head on my approach it helps too. Or just a hard rockin' song I like. Like AC/DC or Scorpions or something. Seems to help my game for some reason.
