8 Reasons you’re not bowling faster

Trained all winter but still not feeling you’ve put on any pace?

 

Make sure you’re not making one of these common mistakes (in no particular order)

 

 

1) Lack of motor control

 

A big reason for not putting on pace

 

If the body isn’t moving how it should then its very hard to transfer power and pace through the body into the ball

 

Could be a stability or mobility issue

 

Find the driver for dysfunction and get it fixed and see great things start to happen in your bowling

 

 

2) Just doing strength

 

You might be feeling strong as an ox but if you have just been doing all strength then its gonna be tough just to bowl faster

 

Just strength doesn’t equate to improved pace

 

 

3) Not strong enough

 

Now don’t get this twisted

 

You need to be strong

 

People get the wrong idea when we say don’t just do strength

 

Its massively important to be strong, you need to be strong

 

If you haven’t got strength its hard to convert to power and pace, so make sure you don’t skip the strength phase

 

 

4) Lack of specific training

 

Going hand in hand with strength, if you are not doing specific training for fast bowling then its gonna be very hard to gain the pace brother

 

Do you know your bowling classification using Steffs’ pioneering knee or hip dom ground breaking work, or if youre static or spring

 

Just like the guys on our 1 to 1 online training are doing

5) Poor warm up

 

You can’t just go straight in and start to bowl fast

 

Proper prep and warm up is absolutely vital

 

Follow our S-RAMP protocol pre bowl to get the body in the right state to be able to bowl full throttle (available in the inner circle)

 

 

6) Poor nutrition

 

Big area that gets overlooked

 

Put rubbish into your body and perform the same

 

Nourish your body with goodness and it will perform a lot better and help you

 

Hydration is crucial to this as well

 

 

7) Poor recovery

 

You’re smashing the gym and training but then getting 2 hours sleep a night, playing on phone and laptop till all hours and not doing your soft tissue work and mobility

 

Sure fire way to get injured and not bowl quicker

8) Not following a program

 

Like trying to put some flat pack furniture together without the instructions

 

You can see all the tools there but can’t put it together and look like it does on the box

 

Not following a specific plan to improve your pace or any aspect of your game will ultimately lead to frustration and not getting everything you can out of yourself

 

Give yourself the best chance

 

And maximise your full potential
