I remember growing up my grandfather use to say "meet life head on".
Don't beat around the bushes looking for excuses, find out where
you want to go then go as straight as you can to get there,
don't let anything get in the way. I thought I knew what he was
saying. But it wasn't until I got to know Mika that I really got
a clear picture of what my Grandfather was talking about. In the
sport of bowling there are so many things that can lead to
confusion. Trying to be in the right part of the lane, using the
right ball and staying ahead of transition. We hear it all the
time... The heads hook, the backends are too tight, my ball
doesn't read the mid-lane right. There are two ways to go about
it...You can move around looking for what you want or you can
meet it head on and learn to deal with something a little
different.
Somehow Mika and my grandfather must be related. Because when
I see how Mika attacks lane conditions and transition, I can
hear and see my grandfather standing over me saying "You know
where you want to be...Don't go around it...Get there, it is all
up to you" An impressive lesson no matter who or how old you
are. |
