I'm hoping that if I write them out and others know about them I will reach my goals:
Increase my average by 10 pins this season.
700 series at least 5*
I would like to see my name posted on the wall in the alley. I need to bowl either 290,299,300, or 800.
Increase my 10 pin pickup percentage.
Average at least 210 at tournaments.
Edited to add plan to achieve these goals as per comment below (thanks outlaw):
I plan to practice twice a week. At least 20 minutes or 1 game of just shooting at the 10 pin. If I can find a house that will rent me a lane for a couple hours that would be best. It will be cheaper than paying for games and when I practice I don't worry about the score.
If I can find a house that lays out a sport shot, I will go there and practice.
I will stay focused the entire three games while I am bowling.
I will watch the lanes and pay attention to what my ball is doing and the break points.
I will pay attention to my team mates balls in order to see when a break down occurs on the lane.
I will play the shot that is there instead of forcing a shot that is not there.
I will execute every shot with confidence and aggression. I will treat every shot as if it counts. Even when my team is up by 100 pins going into the 10th, I'll finish every game.
I'll smile, not get frustrated, or let the lanes defeat me!










I'm diggin' those goals you set for yourself, Josie. Now, all you need is a plan to achieve your goals.
