1. Peak Performance / Presentation

2. Peak Performance COMMITMENT Comes from within, It does not matter if it is An athlete, A coach, or the National Sport Federation. “It has to be given.” Performance: is a combination of two elements; “Results” & “Commitment” There can’t be one without the other.

3. Commitment Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would be doing it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It is whether you let it harden or shame you into no action, or whether you learn from it! There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either in or out. There's no such thing as a life in-between. ~Pat Riley Individual commitment in a group effort -- that is what makes a team work!

4. Results How do to obtain a Result:  Committing to accept who you are as a bowler  Committing to analyse your game  Committing to recognize your strengths  Committing to recognize your weaknesses  Commit to practice to minimize your weaknesses  Committing to serious preparation A result is the final outcome of a set of actions or events.

5. Peak Performance has “3” Environments “CLARITY” “CONFIDENCE” “REGONIGITION” Every conversation we have as a TEAM or in person, is an opportunity To be CLEAR Increase our CONFIDENCE & Provide RECONIGIZION

6. CLARITY: Two way Communication…continually talking about what a good performance looks like. (Talk about Ball Reaction, Spare shots, Strike Lines, Ball Selection, & Transitions) The goal within two way communication is to Increase our level of commitment so we all know as a team what we are working towards. CONFIDENCE: We are always more confident playing the area of the lane where we are the most comfortable because we know we are capable of doing it. Individual Confidence increases as a result of breaking down barriers and trying new concepts… RECONIGITION : We all do our best when we know it matters. Peak Performance Environments

7. Consulting: Asking really effective QUESTIONS & LISTENING. Teaching & Mentoring: Is the core of really good confident FEEDBACK. Confronting: Handling the resistance when asked to make a CHANGE. COMMUNICATION Is the NUMBER “1” SKILL Required in TEAMS to obtain Peak Performances. Communication Stages
