What I am going to do is interview a coach that has been coaching high school bowling for many of years. He has been bowling since he was a kid and is a very good bowling. He has been coaching for at least 19 years or more. He has helped a lot of kids and got a lot of kid going to good colleges and bowling for them. He has helped kids out that have no idea to what they are doing and then by the end of the year of bowling season they are on the right track and on there way to being a some what of a good bowling or even better. He is a very smart and talented guy. You ask him something he will talk your ear off by answering your question.

Bowling Techniques

When it comes to bowling you have to constantly develop you own techniques. The skill that you will either learn or teach your self you have to be comfortable with. After you practice a lot you will start to understand more about bowling techniques. You swing and approach are very important skill to know. When you are working on your approach you have to work more on what your feet are like are and were you position your ball. Most of the time when positioning your ball it should be against your body even with your waist during your approach. Also when have to perfect you stance, you have to make sure it is correct and not off balance or your feet are not wrong.



The video I have put up is about how to stand with the ball in your hand and also how to move your arm with out it going out of control. There is a lot you need to know before u can be good. Have a good stance is very good. It can help you in a lot of ways. When you have a good position with your foot and arms it will help you swing. Your swing is one of the most important things in bowling. You have to have good timing, release and rotation. Timing is the key to being a good 200+ average bowler. Those three things i just named off all lead into each other. Timing helps your release with helps you rotation and you will have a good finish. Most of the time when you let go of the ball is when the rotation of the ball start working. When you finish your arm swing most of the time you should be pointing up or at the your mark. When bowling you could have someone watching you to make sure you are doing everything right now everything is on. One good way to work with your self if you have no one to help you at the time is to hook up and camera right behind the lane and start and stop it every time you are starting and finshing. That is a very good way to show your self what you are doing wrong because you can see what your doing wrong and not have someone tell you. When people see them self doing it wrong it is easier for them to fix it there self then trying to have someone tell them what they are doing and then tring to fix it.

These last 4 post I have done are mostly about what you would have to know to become a coach. There is a lot more but you mostly need to know how to teach someone how to stand right and how to position the ball. Someone that knows nothing about bowling but would like to get into it and they come ask you what they should get you could tell them what type of ball and what grips they can get and then work with them from there. After they have all the required stuff that you need for a beginning bowler. Then you as a coach can step up and ask the person if they need help or would like to have someone help them so they can become better. Some people do not like having a coach help them because maybe one of there parents are helping them or someone else. Everyone has a different way of teaching people and if two people are trying to teach someone how to bowl the person can get very mad and very upset because if you do the one thing one person told you and the someone else sees it and does not like it then he/see will come tell you that its wrong or that maybe there is something you can change can get very frustrating. When you get frustrated with an adult or even a coach they are not happy with you and when you need help they are not very helpful. Coaching sometimes can be a little harder then what people think it really is.

About Bowilng

Bowling is a very interesting sport. You have to be really dedicated to bowling if you want to be good or get anything for it. You can get scholarship and awards. There are tournaments and stuff you can get into but a lot of them are very competitive. When I first started bowling I was about 3 years old and now i am 18 and have been through a lot in bowling. From learning how to throw the ball to Learning about to hook and move my mark. There are people that have been bowling for 4 to 5 years have are very good bowlers because they put there time and dedication into it.



This video I have posted shows you the first things about bowling. Like how you can read the lanes. The video shows the pin distance from where the beginning of the lane started. It also shows and tell what the arrows are that are on the lane and what pins they line up with. In bowling there are more things you need to know then you would think. There are arrows,dot,pin,boards, and a lot more. Like oil pattern and marks. It takes a long time for some people to understand the techniques.
Pretty much the hole point of bowling is to score the highest score and to beat other people. In most houses now they have synthetic surfaced lanes. A lot of the old houses have old lanes what are kind of hard to bowl on to a point. Bowling is a good exercise it burns calories and works muscle a lot of people do not use. It mostly works your tendons, joints, and ligaments. Its does not work just your muscles it also works on friendships and other relationships.

Coaching

How I got interested in being a bowling coach was bowling for Kennedy and seeing what a coach goes through and how much someone can teach someone thing in a little bit of time. When bowling for high school my coach always had new girls that never new what they were doing and so he helped them and got them to were they know what they were doing some what. That is something I really want to do is help someone with something there are interested in doing. Yeah they might not be as good as Norm Duke but they might like it the more they bowl and the more practice they better they will get. It just the time they have to put into it. If they put a lot of time into it they could get in to league or even into school bowling if your school has it. Bowling has always been a big part of my life and I would like to make it party of someone else’s. I would love to help someone make a dream or even start a dream. I would like to be the person to become someone that will be a coach for a long time. Start at a school and work my way up to 16-17 years or more. I want to be the coach people always talk about and come back and watch all the time. I would like to help a school get better or go to state every year. Also when people talk about the school they would send there kids there because they have a good bowling program and good education.
