6093 Help youth prepare for success with tips from collegiate coach Barbara Lewis

What do college bowling coaches look for in potential players, and what can youth coaches do to help teens land spots on college teams and maybe scholarships, too?

USBC Silver coach Barbara Lewis, who is head coach of the NCAA Division I Grambling State University Lady Tigers, knows that a bowler’s success in college sports starts with a solid academic base. “No matter how talented they are, if they don’t meet academic qualifications they won’t be eligible to play,” she said.

Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., and Cassidy Schaub of Polk, Ohio, emerged as the champions Friday at the 2009 United States Bowling Congress Team USA Trials after a 36-game marathon put their skills to the test.

Johnson led from Game 1 all the way until the end, concluding the tournament with 7,959 (221.08 average), while Schaub, a left-hander who uses a two-handed approach, topped the men’s field with 8,192 (227.56 average) at Sunset Station Hotel and Casino’s Strike Zone Bowling Center.

“There are a lot of great bowlers here and any of them could have caught me, so I feel fortunate,” said Johnson, who earned a spot on Team USA for the second straight year. “This is very satisfying because I came out to prove that I belong here, and I think I did that.” Continue reading ‘Johnson, Schaub claim titles at Team USA Trials’ »

Reposted from the Associated Press:

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Brothers Ed and Tom Shircel have combined for
10 perfect games in their bowling careers, and now they’ve reached
another milestone: rolling perfect games while bowling together. Each
rolled a 300 while bowling Monday night at Lakeshore Lanes for the same
team and in the same game.

Ed, 57, said it’s tough to guess the odds of that happening.

“Oh boy, to get two brothers on the same team, then do that? Maybe a one in a million thing, I’m sure,” he said.

Tom, 52, finished first with his 300 and Ed quickly followed.

After
the final pin fell over, Ed realized the rest of the Al & Al’s
Brotherhood League bowlers had been zeroed in on the action.

“I couldn’t believe all the yelling,” he said. “Everyone was paying attention.”

Tom said the pair rarely gets big scores together.

“We always talked about hitting good on the same nights,” Tom said. “We’ve had 700s together, but nothing like this.”

On Monday night, Tom had a 752 series and Ed finished up at 777 after tacking on six more strikes to start the second game.

“Be Adaptable”

Adaptability is an indispensable feature of a top grade mental game. Developing a versatile repertoire of psychological skills enables you to apply a well-practiced technique to cope with any situation encountered during competition.

Your pre-shot routine is designed to optimally prepare you to execute. Consistency is essential. Yet, you must be ready to make some changes as the need arises. The following are suggestions regarding some possible adaptations during a game:
• Use thought stopping whenever negative self-talk or images occur.
• Except for additional deep breaths as needed, your routine on the approach should typically remain set. However, if you become aware of a particular muscle group that’s tight, you can instantly relax it with progressive muscle relaxation. Continue reading ‘Be Adaptable’ »

article1036_7639 Week 8: Lumber Liquidators Shark Championship

Baltimore has been very good to both Rhino Page and Jodi Woessner and Sunday proved no different as each claimed titles in Lumber Liquidators Shark Championship at AMF Country Club Lanes, the eighth stop of the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour. Page broke the PBA’s seven-game scoring record in the Tournament Qualifying Round (TQR) and made his televised finals debut in this tournament last year and Woessner won her first regional (Professional Women’s Bowling Association) title in Baltimore 15 years ago.

Top seed Page, of Topeka, Kan. defeated No. 2 seed Wes Malott of Argyle, Texas, 197-189, to claim his second career title. Malott opened in the second and third frames, and despite both competitors’ struggles to strike, it left the door open for Page. Last season’s PBA Rookie of the Year needed a mark and a count in the 10th to edge Malott which he did with a spare and a strike.

“I felt like I needed to take advantage of the situation,” Page said. “Any time a guy has an open frame, I feel I can really try to pound on him … unfortunately I didn’t. But luckily he was down early and I was able to hang in there.”

Page, who had struggled early in the season, was making his first televised finals appearance of the season.

“I can’t tell you how much confidence this brings,” the 25-year-old said. “Three weeks ago I was pounding my head into the wall. But I went back to what made me, me. I didn’t realize I had gotten away from it. But just because I won, doesn’t mean I can let up know.”

In the second match, Malott, who was making his fourth TV finals appearance in eight events, had a near-perfect game, defeating last week’s champion and Sunday’s No. 3 seed Parker Bohn III, 290-204. In the first match, Bohn III of Jackson, N.J. advanced by defeating defending champion Patrick Allen of Wesley Chapel, Fla., 244-233.

In the PBA Women’s Series, sponsored by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), No. 2 seed Jodi Woessner of Oregon, Ohio defeated last week’s champion and top seed Carolyn Dorin-Ballard of Keller, Texas, 247-189 in the championship match. Woessner struck in the first six frames and jumped out to a quick lead en route to her first career PBA Women’s Series title. It was Woessner’s second televised finals appearance of the season, previously losing to Michelle Feldman in the championship match of the Chameleon Championship in Taylor, Mich. on Nov. 16.

“I just tried to make good shots and kept my arm swing loose,” Woessner said. “Last month when I was on the show, I think I pressed too hard. I’ve bowled Carolyn several times and I’ve had success against her. I don’t know if I bring my game up a notch when I play her, because she’s an amazing player.”

 Week 7: Cheetah Championship

Two of the greatest to ever throw a bowling ball, Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J. and Carolyn Dorin-Ballard of N. Richland Hills, Texas, took home titles at the Cheetah Championship, the seventh stop on the 2008-09 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour. The final round was telecast live from AMF Thruway Lanes on ESPN.



Bohn III’s 32nd career title came after defeating No. 3 seed Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas 242-198 in the televised championship round.


“I had one ball that worked all week, my Twisted Fury; I had tried to use others, but it was almost impossible to get through the pins,” said Bohn III, who is currently fifth on the list of all-time PBA Tour titlists.


Bohn III was the top seed entering the final round after defeating No. 2 seed Patrick Allen of Wesley Chapel, Fla. in Friday’s final position round 279-237.


“If it’s a stepladder format, I want to be No. 1 every week, that’s the way I like it” said Bohn III, who only had to win one match on Sunday’s telecast to win the championship.


PBA Women’s Series Dorin-Ballard defeated No. 2 seed Stefanie Nation of Arlington, Texas, to take home the Cheetah Championship trophy and her 2nd career PBA Women’s Series title.


“This was a very emotional day for me,” said Dorin-Ballard. “It’s Pearl Harbor Day, and my dad was a P.O.W. in World War II, and I felt like he was looking out for me.”
