what aspects of bowling have influenced the future of your life
...ally talk to every day, but they still know me better than some of my friends that I talk to and see every day. I have grown up with many of the kids that bowl with today and I have had some great times with them. Going to the state tournament with them, joking around on Saturday mornings, and in high school bowling. I truly believe that some of the people that I have been bowling with over the past few years have made me a better person and a better bowler. They have given me advice and some competition, which has made me a better bowler. Without some of these people in my life I don’t think I would have accomplished as many things as I have so far in my career. They have shown me who I am and what I can do in the future with my life.

Without them I wouldn’t have nearly as many accomplishments as I do now. They have also influenced me to take the game serious and don’t mess around. One thing I will always remember that one of my old coaches said was “always practice with a purpose” which meant always bowl to get better. That is what I think in my head ever time I get up on the approach and get ready to throw the ball. I have changed it a little to help me with life, “always move ahead in life with a purpose”.
