Accountability đź’–đź’–

Hey Baddies đź’•

Let’s talk about the one thing you know deep down you need to work on in your game.

Nobody’s perfect—and honestly, that’s what makes this journey beautiful. Everyone has something they can improve. Without that awareness, how can you grow? Bowling is a constantly evolving game, and staying ahead of it takes effort, self-awareness, and honesty.

Self-accountability is key.
Sometimes, you’ve got to give yourself a bit of tough love if you truly want to level up. But at the same time, give yourself grace. You’re human. You’re learning. And those small wins? Celebrate them—even if no one else sees them. Love yourself enough to stay committed to your journey.

For me? My biggest struggle is balance at the line. It messes with my trajectory. On house shots, I can usually get by without too much trouble. But once the lane breaks down or the conditions get challenging—yep, it shows. And instead of truly addressing the issue, I’ve often told myself, “I’ll figure it out,” or “It’s not a big deal.” But it is a big deal.

That’s a lack of accountability—and I’m calling myself out on it.
I’ve avoided digging into the root cause. Is it my timing? Core strength? Leg strength? Shoulder position? Slow footwork? Maybe all of the above. It’s frustrating trying to change a bad habit, but recognizing it is step one.

đź’Ą Homework time:
What’s something you know you need to improve, but you haven’t—maybe because it’s hard to break the habit?
What’s one thing you can break down into smaller pieces so it feels less overwhelming to fix?

I’d love to hear what it is for you. Maybe this blog inspired you to dig deeper. I hope it did.

I’m also holding myself accountable—again. After bowling the Topeka PTQ, I wrote a blog to keep myself in check. Did I follow it? Nope. But now’s the time to reset. I’m going to ask my local center to put out a sport shot so I can actually work on the things I’ve been avoiding. Once I do that, the urethane reps, the targeting between 15–10, and the execution will follow.

I’m not always the best at holding myself accountable. But I’m learning. And that’s what this is all about—showing up for yourself, over and over again. In bowling and in life.

Love you all! Stay strong, stay real. đź’–
