A Very Good Read!!!

I am still currently reading this book and it is very good! If you are a professional bowler or a league bowler this book is essential to build your mental game! It will get you through tough pressure situations and open your mind for things that you either have/have not experienced! I really recommend this book to anyone to kick their bowling up the extra notch!

Great investment

When ever you buy a book containing psychology, you think to say "I knew that!", but this book pinpoints the essens of bowling psychology. I've focused on several things that for sure will make me a better bowler.

very helpful book

I purchased this book to help with my bowling, since as a novice bowler, I was dismayed by my embarrassing performance when bowling with friends. I would bowl a strike and then have a string of gutter balls. I found this book really helpful, not just for bowling, but for achieving excellence in other sports. I was able to apply the lessons to other challanging areas in my life. The book gives a comphrehensive overview of this incredibly popular sport. The writers have laid out a step by step mental plan of action that accounts for most contigencies and can used when someone has to psychologically prepare onself to perform at a high level. The use of acronyms such as RALLY ( react, accept, learn, lean, yes )and the examples of positive self talk particularly useful.

One of the best bowling books to date

I think this is one of the most up to date and detailed bowling books to date. It dives into the mental game aspect of the game and just helps you with the skills that most bowlers will need to take their game to the next level.

Not just psychological

Very in depth book on all facets of bowling not just the psychologoical aspects. Has good drills and if the drills are performed, your average will go up.
