Bowling

Bowling is a sport where you can just have a lot of fun. Bowling can be competitive, or it can just be a fun activity. It’s for people of all ages, size, or ability. Just like any sport it helps you exercise about 134 muscles in your body. Bowling is a mental game; it doesn’t take that much strengthens to play it. Bowling also works to improve hand-eye coordination. It takes practice to become good and with confidence, the smallest person can easily become successful.
Some people believe that bowling isn’t a sport but it’s just as much of a sport like basketball, football, or any other sport people participate or enjoy doing. I always wonder why people would say that bowling isn’t a sport. In bowling you have to practice a lot, exercise, and concentrate on what you are doing because it’s a mental game. Just like any other sport you can receive scholarships for college and good opportunities. Majority of people don’t know that you can receive scholarships or that they school even have a bowling team.
There are alot of bowling opportunities for people that have the interest in this sport. You can take the times you just go out in bowl and just sign up for a bowling league. There leagues are almost every week for the whole family, even senior citizens and children around four years of age. The children can be involved in the leagues that have tournaments where they can win scholarship money and badges. Being involved in the extracurricular activity can take you too many places around the world. Adults can also enter tournaments that they can win money and or just bowl for the enjoyment.
Take it from someone that have been bowling for 13years and loves it more than anything. Bowling is more than a sport to me it’s my life. I have been on my school team for 4 years and in two different leagues every year. Being able to do something that can give you a chance to win some scholarship money, or a chance to get a free ride to any college it’s amazing. I have been in numerous of tournaments and have won several of those tournaments. While bowling has given me the opportunity to be myself and achieve my biggest goals, it’s also given me the opportunity to pass it down to my niece and nephew. My entire family bowls and we all love it. Being a bowler, I was able to travel across the seas and visit Sydney, Australia and Holland, Amsterdam. Being able to travel there was magnificent. So, People don’t think bowling is just boring or just a sport. It can be a chance to start your new life. It can give you a chance to win scholarship money and travel across the world.

    The breadth of analysis here is encouraging. Your choices about what to cover are important, especially exploring the reasons why people bowl and what qualities are important to bowling success. Some of your analysis, however, is lost in the typos and redundant word choice - these errors distract from what you're really trying to say and overwhelm your subject matter. Keep working on the revision process; it really helps!
