Up to now, "Using the Head" has dealt with aspects of Lawn Bowls,and the game's head or area surrounding the jack. The following blogs over the next month will deal with the Power of the "Mind" and using your Head's computer in Lawn Bowls Performance...
This week the world's lawn bowlers were watching the World Bowls 2012 from Adelaide Australia. Some views are watching the medals however, many non Australian Lawn Bowler viewers are happy to be able to follow the Australia Bowls Streaming Video.
If you watched the the Singles Final for Gold between Canada and Australia you will have remarked that Ryan Bester (of Canada) seems to be rather fast on the mat and even faster with the actual delivery. Some, like myself, will say this quick mat time, showed a style of Bowls delivery which is instinctive.
In several of these blogs about Lawn Bowling it has discussed how some athletics seem to have
mastered the seeing of the shot wanted, and then letting the subsconscious take control of the bowl delivery. Allowing the delivery to be performed totally in his Mind.
In a different sport, Golf, a Twitter member makes reference to a Youtube.com video where Tiger Wood explains " Previsualization in his Golf Game " has leading him to a type of creativity."@bowlsbook
The blogs, to follow, will discuss Lawn Bowls from the athletics concentration and mind control aspects. In a sport, like Archery, unlike Lawn bowls, there is no question of a delivery weight. Because the bow and arrow combination gives the same weight or delivery force to every arrow. Or in the game ofPetanque, a french game similar to Bowls or Bocce, where the attempt or shooting of a Jack as a takeout, requires a total concentration. Also, in Tiger Wood's video of his Golf addresses to the ball has many possible variables which have been decided and changed. ( from club types, club blade angle, style of swing), However, through previsualization of his shot and actual expected shot, he has found that he has become creative with his shot..
WE all have computers, and click START or Power ON and let our desktop or Laptop prepare our computer for the work we wish to do. (boot up the system) We have in our head the most amazing Biological computer. "The Mind" and during the following weeks I will show you how to turn on this computer, our mind, and even di-mystic the ability to use previsializiation in Lawn Bowls Performance or other sports.
Without professing an knowledge of physoanalysis of professing to be aspecial sports advisers, I am sure that my 30 years of various aspects of coaching qualifies me to speak knowingly. From the individual discussions with athletics in archery, petanque, or Bowls; to the teaching / coaching of Blind Lawn Bowls; I have been able to assists elite students in their concentration training,
If you were a swimmer and asking about body building requirements of the sport, your knowledge of certain muscles and their need to improve my overall swimming; you will probably look at health, exercise, muscle building and even scientific advances in the sport, like material of swim suits. But as a Lawn Bowler athletic, you have the simple task of rolling a bowl up a flat lawn and with just the right force to have it stop at the jack.
For a start "What is previsualization"...
Think WRONG BIAS .......... In thinking of the words what do you see in your mind. Do you not see an image of a bowl going out of bounds because of your bias error. WHY ?? Your mind has generated this image of what has happen during a wrong bias?.
This a post visualization of something you have experience. The mind has recalled it and placed it on yoour computer memory, like your computer has placed a photo on your computer screen. In the same way you saw the Wrong Bias image aas iff you had done a search and got a Google video or youtube playback.
You probably should say that you actually sew in you mind's eye the bowl going up the green with the wrong bias and turning the wrong way. Do your remember all of it...from release to finish ?
What has taken the mind a micro-second to create and show you has not only been accoumpied by the video image, but if you noticed it ... you have also the feeling of disappointment which you now can actually feel. This same feeling often occur whenever you think of it. All this just from hearing or thinking of the words "Wrong Bias".
You have experienced post visualization (the bowl rolling) Post emotional (the feelings) and if you have a favorite expression like "Oh I hate that" you may even have heard the audio words saiding itr in your mind.
NOW FOR THE POINT OF THIS BLOG. The opposite is possible.. You can actually by seeing an action in your mind, before it has happens , create the mind to generate results of performance. This is previsualization. It is as easy as the experience of "Wrong Bias". But the experiences must be builded into you actual Bowl delivery. You remember all those parts of "Wrong Bias" because you have from birth generated memories and listen or play them as an experienced event.
. However, Time is such that we can see the past but not the future... But previsualization of events allow us to suggest that events we have seen happen several time before; can be a memory to the mind of how to perform that action. Yes. Even the Bowl Delivery action.
As babies before we learned to speak we were , some will say, like animals which saw thing in our mind as images.. As we learned to speak, we slowed down that image processing and took time to form words to express the images. We did not lose the ability to see images, but simply stop using and processing them.. With these blogs, maybe, we will learn to have the mind eye. that computer we use everyday, tosee the images which we want to preform and if we relax, and unconsciously let the mind perform the images we want. Putting our selves into the ZONE. Like a Blind Lawn Bowler, who does not see the jack or the distance or the movement of the bowl, we will simple bowl to the jack..
