In Bantams and Juniors, there was always a sense of competition between myself and those with higher averages than me. Then when it came time to bowl together, in 4 Steps and eventually the Youth Challenge and Winter Games, we already had enough competitive experience against each other to focus on the tournament, as well as enough of a friendship to play well together. That balance of friendship and rivalry was very important in helping me be a competitive player.Mark Polivchukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701311722714331361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397128703433910391.post-18308818916798381872012-01-23T20:09:01.455-05:002012-01-23T20:09:01.455-05:00Bowling is an unique sport in which we have very l...Bowling is an unique sport in which we have very little influence over your competitor.
