Positive thought

Emotional Power Within (http://performancelawnbowls.com/index.php/behaviour/emotional-power-within/)

When playing a lawn bowls game, have you ever had the experience of being on a winning roll, the feeling that you could do no wrong? A time when everything seems to go right? When every draw shot finished on target and every on-shot, running and drive shot hit the target irrespective whether it was planned or not. You can also probably remember times you messed up things that you usually do well, when every step and everything you did turned out wrong, and you’ve thought to yourself “Hell, what a mess

Come across this article wondered how many Bowlers have felt like this have been reading up on positive thought and how they coach footballers to win any thought folk would it work with Bowling:rolleyes:

[Bigbear]

I want to know why all my games aren't like that get one a year if I'm lucky might read up on the positive thought lark:rolleyes:

[wrong bias]

positive thinkings great,as long as your arm and hand is linked to your positive thoughts,mines usually not

Try reading: "Think & Play Better Bowls" by Mark de Lacy with Peter Belliss.
It helped me lots when I was a junior bowler (my first 5 years) to win lots of champ events at my club:grin:

[Sam]

Have a look for that book Kiwi Bowler can use all the help i can get,
might be something in this positive thought thing could explain why some people are brilliant.:rolleyes:

[wrong bias]

the thing is its hard to be positive when you fire a wrong bias up the green:p

[Surfer]

Nobody is safe on my rink when I decide to fire nine times out of ten I miss
Can see people hopping around everywhere on the end of the rink had a few near misses with wayward woods
Been told I'm dangerous Surfer:cool:

[Jean]

someone at my club whose husband is a Hypnotherapies and he has worked wonders with his son

Wouldn't have believed it but am now thinking of booking an appointment

The cost is not cheap but am a bit worried if he would actually hypnotism me

Am going to look into it if it works could go to Lemengton next year:D

[The Duck]

Tried the positive thought thing, every time i go on the green say to myself I'm going to win this game
Hasn't worked so far :D

[Blondie]

Try this every time I play but will look out for the book Kiwi Bowler mentioned
Wonder if it would work when I do the lottery:roll:

[Surfer]

Hi Blondie if I thought it would work with the Lottery would buy about six of those books only managed to get one number this week
Thinking of stopping them waste of money never win anything Surfer:cool:

[Sam]

Ive only ever won ten pounds if I sat down and worked out how much I spend in a year not sure if its worth doing:rolleyes:

[The Duck]

Going into town today might have a look in the Library and see if I can find any books on Positive though
A lot of other sports like football take this sort of thing seriously could be worth a try
