In lawn bowls, fear and frustration are emotions that occur in situations where one is blocked from reaching a personal goal. The more emphasis placed on the goal the greater the fear and frustration of loosing.

Lawn bowling coaches must attempt to motivate their teams by a mixture of methods; emotional excitement, reason and conditioning, to get players to focus in specific ways, both on their own and as a team in order to unite as one controlled and effective team unit

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 I‘m in!”

In lawn bowls as in other sports, individuals or teams who succeed have the power of commitment. If you look at successful bowlers at any level, you’ll find that some may not necessary appear the best and the brightest, nor do they have the best delivery style. Don’t judge a book by its cover, what you’ll find they have over others is that they know their outcome, model what works, take action, develop a sensory acuity to know what their getting, and keep refining it until they get what they want.
