Coaching Suggestion
Posted: June 23rd, 2017, 2:39 pm
I'm going to take John's advice and try to get some coaching first before I start practicing to get ready for fall league.
Now, I was searching for a coach on Bowl.com, but really can't find anyone within driving distance who's not just a Level I or II.
I do know there are very knowledgeable coaches that aren't certified by the USBC, mainly because they don't want to shell out all the money you need to in order to be certified. A coach I worked with over ten years ago was a Gold Level coach, but dropped it for this reason. Oh, and in case someone wonders why I just don't go back to him, it's pretty much because he's very old school. Plus, it's always nice to have another set of eyes.
I'm located in Lancaster, PA, which is in Central PA. I once took a lesson with a guy in Palmyra, PA who was a Gold Level coach, but he must have dropped his certification. Plus, pretty much all he wanted to do was turn me into a cupped wrist cranker. At my age now, that's not going to happen.
So, any suggestions of a good coach who's not "certified" but still competent and not too far away?
Thanks!
