Simple thoughts lead to advanced bowling results. We have all heard the term “keep things simple.” Well, in bowling it can be done merely by not allowing too many thoughts about your game to creep into your mind while bowling.

This means to also not jam too many unnecessary thoughts about taking your approach to complicate your task of performing to a high standard during competition.

Bowling efficiency means using the keys to your game which have been well rehearsed during dedicated practice sessions and trusting them when your performance matters most.

Bowling focus is a matter of good decisions when adjustments are needed and then making good shots one at a time.

You can easily derail your ability to make one good shot, however, by trying to think through each step or each movement during your approach while to bowl.

Instead, make a good start, a good finish, and between focus on hitting your sighting target on the lane.

Any additional or extra thinking while walking to the foul line may lead to becoming very mechanical and to forcing your swing and release.

Practice when scores do not matter. Practice is the time to work on your game and tune your physical bowling motion.

Trust your instincts and your skills during competition, whether it be in leagues or tournaments.

In order to keep an even keel emotionally, which helps your ability to maintain good shotmaking for long periods of time, it is vital to trust your physical game and rely on your decisions when adjustments are required.

Play the lanes, the game in front of you. Place most emphasis while bowling on how and where you will play the lanes and then focus on hitting your sighting target.



Your subconscious mind will monitor your physical game because you have trained it to do so during past competitive performances and during practice.

This concept of paying most attention to the game beyond the foul line will de-emphasize the pressure of making good shots and place greater focus on playing the lanes effectively which, in turn, leads to good shots.

Keep it simple while you bowl. Retain an even temperament through the highs and lows of competition.
