So, I am way past stoked. i finished my bronze coaching certification seminar today. My instructor was none other than Pat Costello. Yes, to those who know their bowling history she is a multi-time winner of the women's US Open, Gold coach, former coach at UCF where Stephanie Nation starred. The list of Pat's clients is extensive and impressive. In 1986 her student, Wendy McPherson beat her in the US Open semi-final. Also in attendance were former touring pro Mart Miller. His disciple Kristina Frahm, 3 time all american, national champion as player her senior year and then as head coach the following year at UMECS.
There were plenty of other college coaches (Pikeville) and former PBA players taking this class. There was a ton of information and hands on coaching with volunteers (free coaching, why not). It felt good to hear from Pat that my hands on was dead on. I worked with Tulane Universities #8 bowler and look forward to seeing her progress. She has only been bowling 8 months but her sheer athletic ability makes her a quick study.
