Hey all, a little problem I have been experiencing lately.While in practice,no problem but when the scoring starts,I lately have been getting nervous or anxious to where I am not following through with my timing and swing. Anyone experience this,how did you deal with it? LMK.
Ciao!

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I usually bowl decent in one house, 210 ave, but for some reason cant get it together in the other house, now 192 ave, the shot is not consistant,but that is not a problem.
Started out decent,but I guess my nerves got the best of me the last few weeks,and the average dropped like the titanic.

I think it's normal to get nervous a bit before competition, especially tournaments. It shows you care, just don't let it consume you. Like others mentioned, just focus on your game, you cannot control anything else.

The more you bowl in them, the easier it is to deal with it.

Gum. I know it sounds kinda ridiculous but chewing gum always settles my nerves

Cyril, chewing gum is very helpful. I almost always chewed gum for relaxation until I began to yank crowns off my teeth (even with sugar free gum).

A good deep breath is still one of the best ways to calm the nerves.
