9. "I coached Jr. bowling for a few years" In response to In response to 0
Don't have kids of my own, but I have a slew of godchildren, and love most of my friends kids to death, and I also love bowling. I saw that sport is dying a (not so) slow death, so I took it upon myself to help develop a new generation with an interest in bowling. You try to teach basics without stifling individuality, which is what I believe kids leagues should be about.
I had a good time with it for the most part. The main reason i stopped (and I guess this is true of most kids sports) is THE PARENTS. Asking how come their kid that started bowling four months ago isn't shooting 200+...why aren't you giving my kid special treatment (3 coaches, 35 kids). After three years of that and other assorted parent-related foolishness, I had enough.
