745 Words3 Pages

Bowling has always been competitive for me. Whenever I would play with my friends or family I would always try to play my best, and that competition kept bowling interesting for me. After bowling for a while, my mom signed me up for an Etihad Airways Bowling Tournament. From the moment I walked in, I felt I was out of my league. Most of them walked in with their own equipment and looked like they had been playing for years. That didn’t stop me from playing though. I felt this would be a great learning experience and I knew the only way I could get better was by playing with people who were better than I was. Despite having a slim chance of victory, I played my best as to not drag my team down. This experience taught me that even if the odds are stacked against me you should always try your best. You never know what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it.

I started to go bowling every week after buying the ball, and with enough practice I learnt how to use the ball to my advantage. This changed bowling for me, and my average was never the same. By buying a bowling ball and following the tips of my teammates, I was able to improve my game beyond what I thought was possible. I learnt that I should never

    This added to her character and made her relatable because she found a way to give her life excitement even though she was an older woman that lived alone. As one reads the story, they can see bowling has become her life and she had more intimacy with it than her husband. The author writes about her bowling as if it is the husband she wished she had when he says, “Approaching the foul line, her stride became more fluid as she bent her right knee slightly and trailed her left leg around the back with the grace of a young bride dancing with her new husband for the first time.” But after her favorite bowling ball gets stolen, she loses confidence in her skills, and seems to be very depressed. The bowling bowl most likely represents the freedom she gained after her husband’s death.

Rather than simply looking to improve the way their bodies, look, people nowadays are instead training for form and function, which is part of the reason why Powerlifting has become so hugely popular over the last decade or so.
