mental game

[jmainville]

anyone have any tips on how to improve the mental game? I went to a tournament over the weekand and didnt do so well. It had me very low because I could find any line that was working. Thought I was the worst bowler in the world. then tuesday night at league I shot 690 so i felt a little better. How do you maintain a good outlook when your bowling like crap?

There is an article by Susie Minshew that might help you out with this problem. My good friend Colleen Becker sent it to me a while back and it really helps to improve your confidence. I'll try to send you the link and if I can't I'll get my husband Kev to do it when he gets home.

Dr. K used to be a sponsor of Let's Go Bowling and made regular appearances, but I haven't heard anything about her in a while. She was holding seminars about her "pillars" in tournament cities. I know in Kentucky they sleep on their pillars.

thank you all for the great information. I'm going to read through all this and apply it to my game. I know I can overcome this hurdle. I never used to have this problem but as my physical game improved my mental game did not. thanks again
