DEL WARREN: So let's go bowling. What are we doing here? Well there's three parts to the physical game and how we get to the foul line. We're trying to knock down 10 pins which is about 60 foot away and you got a lane here that's 39 boards wide, you got seven arrows as we said on the lanes and I'm trying to hit the head pin on the right side and hopefully knock down the most we do. So we have a process here and we teach our students to be process oriented--first things first, we set our feet. We get in a nice, athletic position. Again as we talked about, we're going to point our feet down the target line or where we want that ball to go. And we set our head, the head, if you've played any other sports, you've heard wherever the head goes, the body will follow. Well, we're going to get our heads kind of setup on the outside of our right foot and then we're going to get a nice, athletic stance. So we set our feet, our head, we get in a nice, athletic stance and then we set the ball. And the ball goes right close to our body, I prefer touching our body but if not close using our left hand to balance the ball and it goes right underneath our head, alright? Once we get in that position and we fixate on a target out here on the lanes then what we're going to do is we're going to get into the start. And we start the ball very smoothly, okay, and we're going to hinge the ball. We're not going to push it way out, we're going to try to keep this very rounded and smooth because the goal here is to get the ball into the [SOUNDS LIKE] shwang consistently and smoothly without any stress on our body. And we're also going to place it down the target line. So right now, just like you line up a putt or you fire a gun or a bow and arrow, we're trying to get the ball down this target line that I'm envisioning and we want to get it into the shwang, again, smoothly and consistently. So we set our feet, our head, we get in an athletic position and we set the ball and we're ready to pull the trigger. Ready? Go. And then we hold our finished position, we're trying to have a good balance; obviously we're going to stay behind the foul line so we don't get zero. Here I'm in the finish position and then if you noticed, my trail leg is out all the way here to about an eight-thirty position, if this was a clock. And I have a nice wide base to where I can hold my balance here.
