With a bowling ball in hand, everyone goes for the strike.
It’s the best result, right? So why wouldn’t you go for it?
But there are many things that come before a strike.
Finding a ball that’s the right size and weight. Having the right shoes. Practising your run up to the lane. Looking where you want the ball to go. Avoiding the gutter.
Focusing only on the strike risks mistakes, and there are many points on the table for reliable players who get the basics right.
The logic applies for ten pin bowling, and many other sports, projects, and objectives.
