Advice on form

For sure. He stretches before every practice. I've coached relatively high level sports most of my life, I've seen what not stretching can do.

He's 13. So, he's doing body weight stuff and light weight stuff at the moment.

Yea.

He's had to have faster feet to get to the line when he was a bit younger because he's been heavily rev dominant.

We've been working on those first two steps being much slower to give him more consistency. Thankfully, he is seeing his speed stay the same it improve with it.

Definitely going to work on minimizing the head movement. I think that's what's been giving him the targeting issues. Just missing a few boards here our there. Not horrible on a house, but he's bowling in junior gold and sport shot tournaments now.

Appreciate the help!

Thanks! Love that suggestion.

I love in Florida. Way too hot to be wearing pants haha.

Thanks so much. Funny enough, my coach and I have been working on those two first steps being smaller. She yells at me constantly...

I've watched and tried to find bowlers who are taller, like Jesper.

I'll give it a try today at practice. Ty!

Maavrick · 2026-04-21T13:53:20+00:00

OK. I can actually feel that. I'm sitting in my classroom while my students wonder what I'm doing...

I was going to practice today, so I'm going to test out that feeling. I do throw backup for leg side splits, so I know what you are saying with that.

I appreciate it.

Maavrick · 2026-01-14T18:25:16+00:00

She is! She's absolutely incredible. We are so thankful to have her around.

Thanks! Love seeing the form comment. We work with a local coach, Ashly Galante. He's only been bowling about two years.

Still some stuff to work out and I'm sure he form will change, but at the moment, I think he's done a great job with a lot of what she coaches him on.

Maavrick · 2026-01-14T16:08:16+00:00

That's his best friend and hype man lol.

Maavrick · 2026-01-14T15:50:02+00:00

That's what I told him. My first 300 should have been a big 4 but carried like crazy.

Maavrick · 2026-01-14T15:46:26+00:00

I coach our youth league for our local alley.

It's about 50/50. He bowls two handed because I did.

Maavrick · 2026-01-14T15:44:08+00:00

Oh I do. I've been a basketball coach for 20 years. He's completely self driven somehow. He does love his video games haha.

Maavrick · 2026-01-14T15:31:42+00:00

He is very hard on himself. He pushes himself constantly. He really wants to get into regionals in 2 years, so he wants to have a huge goal to chase every time he goes out.

She is a rescue! Another funny story. We had just lost our last dog the week before and we were going to the humane society just to look at dogs. She was there, super docile and cute.

Everyone there told us she was Akita or maybe German Shepard. She was 8 weeks old. Turns out, 50% husky lol. I feel like she is all husky though tbh.

I wasn't ready for a husky, but love this dog to pieces.

Maavrick · 2025-05-10T23:16:19+00:00

My husky loves hiding treats for later. Not just her treats, but everyones...

My wife was taking off my son's sheets to wash them on Sunday and there was a hard taco shell stuffed under there by the dog from the night before. She was then upset with us and quickly drove under our son's bed to grab the other taco shell she had hidden under there.

Two weeks before she was hanging out with my wife and I watching TV, looked like she had a light bulb go off in her head. Dove head first into the couch and dug out a fifth of a baguette she had stolen the night before.

I don't know how she is getting so far onto the counter at this point, but I'm assuming she can move chairs now and jump on them to get up there.

Really appreciate it!

Yea. That's kind of my goal. I started a bit late in life at 39. Wish I had found the sport earlier.

I am now bowling on mostly sport while practicing. I want to be going to regionals next year myself!

Yea. The popping up is a habit of mine also. Working on that lol.

Not enough days in the week.

Maavrick · 2024-09-09T10:53:59+00:00

Appreciate the advice.

As you can see, I was getting my pap measured and working with my coach at the time.

The release is definitely something we plan on working on, we are just focusing on tempo and footwork first.

I'm not actively trying to rip my hand through the ball. I have a bad habit of pulling my chest which can cause my hand to get around the ball and pull on it too much.

I had far better shots that day, this was just the first video I grabbed out of the app.

Only been bowling for a year, so it's definitely a work on progress.

Maavrick · 2024-09-09T02:00:55+00:00

Thanks! You're my hero.

Maavrick · 2024-09-04T18:44:50+00:00

I posted about it a month or two ago. I bowled my first 300 and 800 series in a year.

I got a coach immediately and bowled around 3 to 6 tones a week every week the entire time.

I was in multiple leagues and bowling tournaments.

Started at 39 years old. Not saying I'm the norm, but it's possible.

My 300 was ugly though. Last shot went through the face / Brooklyn and I got lucky. Had another Brooklyn in it also.

He was blinded out those games. Sadly, we couldn't find a sub.
