My daughter was talked into bowling in high school by her friends shortly after we moved here. Neither of us had bowled before. She wanted to quit her freshman year due to, in her eyes, a poor average of 135. I told her she just needed to practice and wouldn't allow her to quit. She got a job at the bowling alley and I started bowling, with her teaching me, so she wouldn't have to practice alone. Her senior year she was captain of her team and went to state. When she went to college they asked her to bowl but she turned them down. Said it was too competitive and she only did it for fun. I bought her a ball in February. She had it drilled but didn't have a chance to roll it. She subbed in my Sunday morning league after not touching a ball for just over 2 years. She rolled a 679 series that day and hasn't bowled since (she works 70 hours a week, mainly second shift) but keeps getting asked to join teams. I fell in love with bowling watching and helping her. In January I even received my coaching certification. having so many people ask me for help I figured I may as well learn how to teach them correctly.
