 In my January 2009 Bowling This Month article, I introduce readers to the negative impact of stress and anxiety on performance. These realities are often over-looked when attempting to improve one's game. But, the truth of this evidence reveals that bowlers will not improve unless they make a proactive effort to improve their mental game, especially in recognition of stress and reducing anxiety. In closing, I discuss some easy-to-use techniques to reduce stress. This is an important article for those who are bowling at a high level and want to improve.

 In the March 2008 installment of my Slowinski at-large column, I share with readers how important quiet eye targeting techniques are to elite performance in sport. The article begins with an overview of the research on quiet eye techniques' contribution to improving accuracy and consistency. I conclude the article with a 3-step process to improve targeting and accuracy. This includes recommendations on how long to target and where to target. I strongly recommend that readers use both the 3-Point Targeting system and Quiet Eye targeting process together. You will find that these compliment each other well and will contribute to a significant improvement in your performance on the lanes.

 In my latest Slowinski at-large column, in Bowling This Month's February 2008 issue, How Important Is the Mental Game? Are You 100% Committed When Competing?, I share with readers two case studies illustrating the importance of the mental game in improving performance. In the first case study, I analyze the mental game of Todd Book, winner of the 2007 Tour Trials. In the second, I share the story of an elite youth bowler in Malaysia who transformed his performance at an important international event with an increased dedication to the mental game. Finally, I share with readers my 7-step pre-shot routine which has been used successfully in maximizing scoring consistency and reducing emotional inconsistencies. After reading this articles and learning about these cases, I think you will agree that the mental game is a key to success at the highest levels of our sport.
