Is bowling a sport?

[MaryvilleRebels]

All right, first off if you work hard and you run a 100, I don't care how hard you work you're not going to win if you have no god given speed. Speed cannot be taught or enhanced, you either have it or you don't. Once you grow into yourself you either get speed or you are average. You cannot train someone to run a 4.3 forty its just not possible. You may be able to take a guy that runs close to a 4.3 and make him work hard and he will run a bit faster, but narrowing it down doesn't make him really that much faster. Now I know that distance is hard, and you have to work your butt off, but some people just don't have the right tools to win. For example, I saw a guy running the two miles that was pidgeon toed like crazy, he had no natural speed due to his feet, he worked harder than everyone else and was never as winded as some of the others, but he just wasn't fast enough to win. My older brother plays baseball and he is constantly running and conditioning for baseball. He can condition for 5 months and I can sit on my butt and eat potato chips for five months. Well after the 5 months is up I would still beat him soundly at running a mile. He has a bit of trouble breathing and I am naturally faster than he is. Its all about having the right tools, then you can work hard to enhance the tools.

Guys come one, this is a bowling thread, not track and field.

[MaryvilleRebels]

Yea but we're not plus members and can't talk about track and field yet Just kidding, actually the track and field originally tied into the bowling, but its kinda gone a stray, sorry!

[redbaron515]

Well, you could become plus members and talk about track an field all you want. $12 dollars, and you have it.

[MaryvilleRebels]

Yea but I am in college and 12 dollars can be used in a lot better ways, hehe!

[redbaron515]

well, i live in an apt and paying bills, i found someway to get it, lol. I think you will find it worth the money.

You seem like a very angry person....maybe u should seek professional help!?

[redbaron515]

It was just a simple suggestion, not a demand. If you dont want to purchase the membership, which by the way benefits this site, than thats your choice, no one is forcing you. Their is no explanation for your previous post though. Sometimes, its better to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Sports are activities in which athletes participate, if an athlete participates in golf or bowling he is the best at it in the world i.e. Tiger Woods, or Earl Anthony....
