The Physical Performance - A "Closed" sport of You, your mental strength over a minutiose physical strength, order and psychological development. It is certainly hard to Blog about what every Lawn Bowls Athlete thinks they know in Detail.
The Post-Novice Course is intended to give a meaningful direction to a Novice who has started their career in a sport which seem simple but you which to show a road to success which requires much hard work. Many years ago when I was studying in Press Photography my mentor told me "What seem simple is because no-one shares their knowledge of the advance level of complexity" He then went on to say "What I give freely is also to be given freely".
In mention of the "minutiose" aspects of Lawn Bowls, it is not the physical effort that defomes bit that the choice of the word to say that the smallest detail means success and not the force of muscles or even strategy. Each Novice must see that the sport is more than a "Dart game" where we roll a bowl to a target and count success as the individual whom is always the closest. To the Novice this session of the course should show there is no upper limit to the development or performance that can be obtained.
As an esample of the small detail take Andrew who was changing his point of aim during his delivery from the back board to a sport on the green directly in front. It seems a simple thing but his "Muscle Memory" is build and when he begins his delivery his "Muscle Memory" starts with his reference of aim on the back board. As he changes this point, his conscious mind becomes involves in this new point of reference and he fights with a consistance performance. He become discourage as he see his performance decrease.
However, the solution is not a big point but more knowing what is happening in his body's development and how to change it without problems. Answer is to not let the conscious mind instruct the muscles. So Andrew was suggested to "Look at his spot in front of himself then the spot on the bank and after two times this back and forth; allow his "Muscle Memory" to start his delivery with his viewing of the sport on the bank. The Muscle Memory is starting at it correct point and so not any interruption or interference by the change. An insite to how to make a small change.
When Andrew as asked "Why he was changing?" he said he was told by someone it was more exact to if closer. As I explained to Andrew his Post-Performance that as the bowl left his hand he could look down at the spot and see how his delivery applied to his "Line of Aim" and have other feelings like his belance, his delivery movement. Feeling these and seeing his bowl roll up the green he was beginning his Post-Mat evaluation of his delivery. A detail of a small fact which will one day become his natural delivery and performance.
This sort of example then lead to the discussion of their presence on the Mat which is for the time of delivery and all the preparation thinking is done before coming to the mat in a Pre-mat Routine. The novice learns that even if the skip ask to change his bias, then he must leave the mat. WHY ??. Because all actions done dofferemt tjam the learned delivery will destroy the "Muscle Memory Performance". You start your delivery always from the same point of mental and physical position. By doing a consistance Delivery you impromve your performance and do not allow other things influence your performance.
Still under development......
