Its taken me a bit of time to respond.
What a weekend! I slept 11 hours last night.
This is our 4th seminar in the area and our first at Saratoga Strike Zone.
I agree with Mo, everything at the seminar was picture perfect and flawless in execution.
We walked in and they were ready for us, we even got the VIP room for presentations with dual projector screens. They really rolled out the red carpet for the industry's best.
Karl is the best you could ask for, his attention to detail was impeccable, and we're grateful that he could be there for the seminar. He is a big reason why we were so successful this year.
Mike Luongo is an amazing coach, and a professional to the letter.
Talking with Mike opens a different book on bowling, and is a perfect compliment to Mo's encyclopedia.
You cant say enough about Mo. Each year that goes by, I have a greater appreciation for his passion, drive, endurance, and presentation that keeps drawing you in more and more as the seminar.
Everything came together this year, 6 different oil patterns over 2 days, content that covered just about every aspect of the sport. Ball design, layouts, coaching basics, video examples, advanced techniques, pattern specific bowling, arsenal management and situational bowling discussions. All at a good pace, diagrams to match the content and videos to reinforce. Im not certain we should keep calling this a seminar, because its becoming more of a bowling boot camp.
The participants came from all over the country and world. Arizona, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Florida, and Michael from Zaragoza, Spain.
The participants were all unique in their own way, and each one was bowling better by the end of each session.
We had Alan, from Arizona, we got him a solution to Cheetah by fine tuning reaction with a target layout and the determinator. Alan, couldnt stop striking with it.
Gabby from Florida, a beginner with so much potential and enthusiasm that takes us back to our youth. She's on the right track to meeting her goals.
Natasha with all of the potential to make an impact on the sport locally, with an enthusiastic dad to make it happen.
Michael from Zaragoza, Spain, who traveled across the globe to get the most out of his game and advice from the game's best to take back with him.
The newbies got the direction and advice they wanted to get their game on track, and the veterans of the seminar were given a major helping of new material. So many success stories and I've already gotten inquiries about next year only one day after the seminar ended.
Some attend for the technical knowledge, some attend for the coaching, some even attend for the experience alone, but everyone has one thing in common, they all come to listen to the man, Mo.
The most interesting man in bowling.
Thank you to everyone who attended for making this another unforgettable experience.
