Relive bowling's past

      BVL provides recreational and therapeutic programs and services to brighten the days of America's active duty and veteran service men and women. I'm a veteran and now retired, I wanted to help other Vets enjoy the sport I love. With the purchase of my book, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to BVL. You' too can helping those who served our country enjoy what most athletes will take for granted. The veterans thank you.

Relive bowling's past

      The phantom helps bring back the past with his guests and his trivia contest. The weekly podcast highlights many aspects of yesteryear and even a few current events. Over 1100 shows and over 400 guests in the 18 years on the air. Dick Weber was his first guest, and it took off to the moon from there. I have been a guest on his podcast a couple of times. Click here for my two podcasts are on the about page.

Articles into my book

Articles into my book

      So far, the path to publishing my first book from several articles I wrote years ago, has been an eye opener. A few small potholes along the way to the printing stage, didn't change the publishing date. My dream to to give back to athletes has now become a reality. Dorrance Publishing now has published my book to even the playing field for all athletes to gain knowledge to compete at a higher level. The $14 price is a steal of a deal. Take your game to a higher level!

HOW TO see Award winning websites?

Look at the list of the All-Star Bowling Sites of the Month!

     NOTE: Joey Pirani of the Huntsville All Star League (Alabama), created an award for bowling websites and I was given the award in May 1999. He changed the link after I got  this website going. Due to him possibly removing some great links for bowling, I have honored his awards here. I have only listed months that an award was awarded and the website is still active after over 14 years. Many of the links have been broken, pages not available, websites up for sale and have been sold. 


With the plethora of bowling sites appearing and the many requests for links, I decided to "award" the better ones. Here are my rules:

  1. This will be a monthly award.
  2. Judging is based on my taste and on user input.
  3. Don't over-do it. Web Design is about telling the story, not about flash
  4. Visitors can nominate a web site for consideration.

HOW TO improve with my huge HOW TO website?

Have a recap to INSPIRE ATHLETES TO LEARN!

This recap SHOULD INSPIRE other athletes to take advantage of the GREAT iINFORMATION that's on my HOW TO wesite so they can make their own noise with GREAT RESULTS!


      Not all athletes who are on my HOW TO website will compete for titles for various reasons. Some will want to Elevate their game to help their team. Some may compete to get exercise and decide they want to win a few more matches to have more fun. Some may be seniors who compete and want to pay back a few trash talkers. And of course, some bowlers may want better results to help their team place higher for more cash

and possibly win the league championship.

      For whatever reason, I'm glad you came to see HOW TO acquire more Knowledge to be more competitive. What I'm selling is information to become a better athlete! The info on my HOW TO website is of course FREE. I discounted the price to improve 😊! With

my HOW TO books, the price to a GREAT MENTAL GAME is less than lessond from a qualified coach. No other author will give GREAT advice for next to nothing! What's on my

HOW TO website has quick fixes, an in-depth strategy for setting goals, motivation because some will need it, team artcles and my exclusive excellent college course for obtaining Confidence! The site has changed several times and now has new mental

articles including why you want to compete in the Zone!!


      My HOW TO website should show you HOW TO improve your mental game with several quick fixes from several of my mental game articles. When looking through my HOW TO website and seeing how many mental game articles I have, should show that I want to inspire athletes acquire their goals while having FUN competing! When you finally decide that you need more help, my first HOW TO book, The Path to Excellence will tell you HOW TO avoid the potholes. My question to you is, how much are you willing to spend to reclaim the fun when competing? My HOW TO book is more cost effective than actual lessons and you'll learn HOW TO acquire a GREAT mental game on your 31 day journey to the ZONE!

      HOW TO see improvement isn't usually going to happen overnight. HOW TO improve could possibly happen by next week. HOW TO improve CAN ONLY HAPPEN when YOU DECIDE that you want to ELEVATE YOUR GAME, learn the "Fun"da"Mental"s and Compete with a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! I will teach you HOW TO take small steps in my first HOW TO book to start your own Path to Excellence on your quest to do GREAT THINGS and compete in a place called the ZONE! Having a HUGE HOW TO website that has a little bit of everything except the kitchen sink😊 should show that I want to help and inspire athletes to have more enjoyable moments when competing!

     My HOW TO website should inspire you to raise expectations and want to compete for titles!

       This outline shows that you'll learn the "Fun"da"Mental"s to compete having FUN while having a GREAT mental game and why IT MATTERS:


The FIRST STEP toward making it happen, is accepting that you want to see better results

                             and you're willing to put in the time to SO IT CAN HAPPEN.

                  HOW TO see that Determination, Knowledge, a Routine, Goals and making a 

                             Schedule will give you the discipline to write something down will show

                             your Commitment.
The SECOND STEP toward repeating GREAT shots can only happen when you consistently

                             throw good shots and continue to Practice while working to improve your

                             mental game. Your physical game MUST be ready to compete.

                  HOW TO throw just good shots comes from having a good mental game and

                              knowing the "Fun"da"Mental"s and FOCUSING on what matters! Writing in

                              your Journal will help gain knowledge for future events.
The THIRD STEP toward ELEVATING YOUR GAME will happen when you're Awareness will

                              reduce pressure on those MUST HAVE plays and shots.

                  HOW TO get an Attitude Adjustment so you can FOCUS to make correct

                              Adjustments happen. Your decisions will impact the results.
The FOURTH STEP toward GETTING TO THE ZONE, is knowing why many of the 345 factors

                              can undermine a GREAT mental game where you'll soon be in a slump.

                  HOW TO know that Enthusiasm can eliminate most Distractions which lead to

                              the BIGGEST factor of the mental game, Confidence. 


      These four steps should show WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW the Knowledge in my first HOW TO book. After finishing that book, I felt that athletes needed additional knowledge after getting to the Zone. That is why I wrote my second HOW TO book, so they would achieve SUCCESS and claim Championships! 


The FINAL STEP toward becoming SUCCESSFUL starts with your knowledge to avoid

                              disaster. Having a GREAT mental game keeps you FOCUSED on your

                              career goals and winning a championship!

                  HOW TO find what road to take is more than half the battle. I have 12 side

                              streets that teach you the knowledge to acquire SUCCESS!


     If I got you thinking about keeping an open mind, I DID MY JOB. The mental game isn't rocket science, but you need to understand, HOW TO get your mental game out of the gutter! 😊(This is for all the bowlers out there, since I'm a bowler.) HOW TO have fun should be etched in your mind. If it's not fun, why do you continue to compete when you get frustrated after several close losses? Having fun MUST happen when getting to the Zone! Not having any fun? Being stressed out isn't the answer as decisions may be rushed not clearly thought out completely. I want you to avoid much of the frustration I went through before many athletes knew how valuable the mental game determined who would win sporting events. And some of this knowledge is on my HOW TO website!
HOW TO show athletes that competition should balance FUN and FOCUS! I've included many articles that FOCUS on the mental game. I've injected FUN in a few small articles that are listed below for your enjoyment! 


HOW TO do things differently is obviously on my HOW TO website:
        HOW TO find other good books is in my mental library.

        HOW TO know the competition and HOW TO beat them at their own game.

        HOW TO guesstimate when your next 300 game is coming!

        HOW TO have MORE FUN and live to tell others!

        HOW TO realize competing is about taking Risks!


        HOW TO honor some Sensational bowlers because they made a difference!

        HOW TO "talk" fluent bowling with my Modern Bowling Dictionary!

       HOW TO honor some GREAT people with my Who's Who list!

       HOW TO honor a teammate who is an inspiration to bowl with!

       HOW TO promote you league to create more interest!

       HOW TO tell others of the GREATEST league that now maybe forgotten!

       HOW TO show some GREAT websites with GREAT info!

       HOW TO show some GREAT pics from the museum!

       HOW TO honor my winning the All-Star Bowling site of the Month!


       NOTE: I had to put enough info on my site so you would know how serious I am about what the mental game meant to me and what it should mean to all athletes. It's the mental game that enabled me to do some GREAT things, mostly in bowling. Knowledge and your experiences will show others WHO YOU ARE. My accomplishments page is a little long for good reasons. Experiences create confidence when more good results happen over time. The challenges I faced along with bowling pot games, showed I had potential. I've turned those moments into making good money in tournaments and winning aneagle in the Tucson Senior Masters. Since competing at a higher level, I know athletes can get mentally drained, so I also added some history and some humorious articles, as athletes need to have fun too.   Thanks for stopping by. I hope my huge HOW TO website woke you up as to why you NEED A GREAT MANTAL GAME to fill your shelves with hardware! If it helped, you'll still have to work a little to keep GREAT results to continue in competition. My HUGE HOW TO website is one of the biggest private sports mental game websites that includes bowling, so any athlete can learn and improve their game!
