Tried to leave a 10 pin on purpose. Shot 278 instead. 🤷‍♂️

Clearly I was not successful here, but this is one of my favorite training exercises, and here’s why.

Trying to leave a pin on purpose forces you to reverse engineer how pins are supposed to fall. And it’s harder than you think. You still have to execute a good shot. You can’t just throw it badly and hope.

What you learn quickly is that most 10 pin leaves aren’t caused by bad shots at all. They’re caused by transition. The lanes change, the ball reacts differently, and suddenly a shot that carried an hour ago leaves a corner pin standing.

When you understand what it takes to leave the 10 on purpose, you understand what it takes to knock it down. That’s when adjustments start making sense instead of feeling like guesswork.

Next practice session, pick a pin and try to leave it. You might be surprised what you learn (and what you shoot). 🎳

I couldn’t be more excited to announce my commitment to SCAD-Savannah to continue my academic and athletic career in 2027!

First, I want to thank my family and coaches (Melissa McDaniel, Matt and Jane Taillon, Tamara and Roger Petrin) for helping shape me into the person and bowler I am today. Thank you for all the sacrifices, support, and encouragement you’ve given me along the way. Through every high and low, you’ve continued to believe in me and push me to become the best version of myself. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you, and I’m forever grateful for everything you’ve done for me!

Secondly, I want to thank all of my friends who have been by my side. Looking back, I have nothing but amazing memories from all the tournaments we’ve competed in together. From the long weekends on the road to the laughs, competition, and friendships we’ve built along the way, you’ve made this journey so much more special.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey and helped me get to this point. It’s truly a dream come true to have the opportunity to attend SCAD, and to bowl for two AMAZING coaches (Coach Katie and Coach Benjy). Thank you for giving me this unbelievable opportunity. I’m beyond excited for these next few years and to represent SCAD Bowling! 🐝🐝

Every bowler throws bad shots. Even PBA champions. The difference is what happens in the next 30 seconds.

We sat down with PBA Tour champion Francois Lavoie and asked him one question: how do you get over a bad shot?

His answer didn’t start with his arm swing or his release. It started with his process.

Francois talks about controlling his controllables and trusting the four core pieces of his game, the things he knows he can repeat under pressure. But listen to where his answer goes as the conversation keeps rolling. He moves out of the physical and into what we call the Thinking Box.

That’s where he asks himself one simple question:

“Was it a good shot?”

Not “did it strike.” Not “what will people think.” Was it a good shot?

That question is one of five in Mindset Gear’s 5 Question Framework, a tool we teach inside the Thinking Box to help bowlers separate the result from the execution and get back to the approach clear, calm, and ready for the next frame.

One question gets you started. All five give you a system you can use every single frame.

If your bowler replays the bad ones all the way home, this one is for you. 🎳

Coach Ian did his first Mindset Minute of the season at youth league on Saturday morning. Lots more to come! He has benefited greatly from his training with Mindset Gear, and as a Mindset Gear Youth Ambassador, he's working to pay it forward to other youth bowlers. by @mymindsetgear

First frame. Shaky hands. Tight chest. Every thought running ahead to the 10th.

That's not a wildfire. It's a sparkler. Loud and bright, and already burning down.

👀 See it.
📏 Size it.
🖼️ Frame it.
💪 Own it.

Run it once tonight in your room so it's ready before you need it.
Then screenshot slide 7 and keep it in your camera roll for tournament day.

Which step will be hardest for you? Drop the number 👇

And send this to another bowler who may be worried about the outcome of this weekend before it's even began.

16 hours of training. 4 bowlers. 12 hours of travel. 2 days.

Chicago, thank you for a weekend of real work. 🎳

Every Intensive is 1-on-1. Each bowler gets my full, undivided attention for the whole session, because their game deserves that kind of focus.

Intensive trainings aren't easy. We spend 4 to 6 hours straight on the lanes bowling and talking through the game. We figure out what's unique about each bowler and which tendencies we need to target so their shot making gets more consistent.

We always start with the foundation: pins, fit, and shoe support. If the equipment is working against you, nothing after it holds up. From there, we get into the specifics of each bowler's personal game.

Every player made great progress this weekend. More importantly, every player left with tasks so they can keep this work going in their own practice. Progress doesn't stop when I get back in the car.

Proud of the effort each of you brought. Now let's go build on it.

Curious what an Intensive looks like? The details are in the comments. 👇

We're feeling BOLD this morning. 💥

Bowlers, let's talk about something real.

Your generation throws "GOAT" around like it means nothing.
Your friend throws a decent shot? 🐐
They win a tournament? 🐐
They just "look good" throwing the ball? 🐐

If everyone's a G.O.A.T., then NOBODY is.

Real 🐐 hold each other accountable.
Real 🐐 ask the hard questions.
Real 🐐 refuse to let you talk yourself small or falsely big.

That's how actual greatness gets built.
Not in an echo chamber of empty and abundant compliments.
Instead, in a crew that DEMANDS YOU CHASE IT.

Comment below 👇
➡️ Who around you is actually holding you accountable?
➡️ And are you doing that for them?

Because that's the real G.O.A.T. move. 🎳

Before youth league, I was recognized for my first place finish in the Youth Open Championships U16 Girls Doubles division. I received my eagle trophy as well with this recognition! I loved celebrating this achievement with my home center. Thank you to everyone for the unwavering support and encouragement, and I am so honored to be the first youth bowler from B&B Lanes to receive this prestigious award!! Most importantly, I know we were not able to celebrate this award together but honoring my amazing and inspiring doubles partner @baileyforrest1015!! This would not have been possible without our authentic friendship and care for one another, and I am so grateful I got to be the first person to hug you during the most meaningful 300 I’ve ever seen!! Thank you for everything (also thanks for carrying me 🥹)!! Love you, mean it 🤍 taken in B & B Bowling Lanes by @mymindsetgear
