Sometimes if you're having a really tough time on the lanes, taking a break all together can help. Five years ago, I was having a really poor season. Missing spares, timing issues and just throwing the ball bad. I was also dealing with some personal issues at the time, so my head really wasn't in the game as it was. I ended up taking four months off completely. I came back with a fresh mindset, and I was throwing the ball better than I ever had. We're all human and stuff happens, so taking care of yourself off the lanes is important.

My little one loved this. He doesn’t listen to any one else when it comes to bowling. However, he loves your videos and practices your teachings, which is improving his game. Thank you so much, Shannon.

One thing that helps me is whistling. It keeps my attitude in a positive, relaxed, carefree state. If I happen to get frustrated, I give myself 30 seconds to be frustrated, then I have to let it go and move on. If you don't let yourself feel what you need to feel, it will build, and the end result is bad.. trust me.. lol

I listen to music. Smooth Jazz!!.

[@joshg218]

I like listening to stuff from John Williams who has done so much music for very popular movies from star wars to titanic and tons more

[@brandygates6583]

Shannon Thank You for always providing value in your videos

How champions think by Dr. Bob. The top book in the stack, I've read it a few times, love every bit of it.

[@frankformella6834]

I like it I read mental game by George Allen I don’t know how many times? Every time I start to get down cuz of a bad outing. I’ll read.still would like more talent working on that. But like you said mental toughness is very very important. Thanks again for reminder!!!

[@bowlingxp8345]

Great advice !

[@travisford8160]

The Inner Game of Tennis, by Timothy Gallwey, must read, more than tennis!!

[@charlesroulette5296]

Hava a montra to refer to while preparing to bowl like- "less is more" .

[@joshg218]

Sleep and a healthy diet.. have a bigger impact on your mental strength/game than almost anything else you can do

[@michellechristensen2354]

And exercise

[@joshg218]

@@michellechristensen2354 yes, but you can't fix a bad diet and poor sleep with exercise.

Anger Management classes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shuanextreme]

True why because I was playing roblox bowling on the front 9 in roblox and choked it hopped off right after and I haven’t gotten a real life 300 so imagine how nervous I would’ve got if I was throwing 300 irl 😂

[@jimward278]

what books to you sugest to read

[@insidebowling]

There's really a wide variety of books that will appeal to different people. All of the books pictured are books that Shannon has read. Doing a search for mental toughness or mental strength will pull up many options for you. Some may be more sports specific while some will be more focused on general mental strength and toughness. Hopefully you'll find some that will really make sense and speak to you and your game!

[@channelchuggy4792]

Reading WHAT though?

[@240iBMW]

I find kicking the ball return helps me. 😁😂

[@joesagliano5694]

Just don't kick it too hard

[@theamericanshocker4193]

Can we be together?
