Jeremy Leung While I don’t know why it’s in your feed I do know you clicked it because you were thinking the lead off Bowler for Vanderbilt was cute just like everybody else on this vid
Bowling is such a satisfying sport to watch, as progress is measured every time a pin drops. The way each bowler releases the ball coupled with the way the ball travels down the lane is interesting to observe. Team play and strategy adds an appealing dynamic to the sport as well, making for a very fun and exciting venue.
It's not "defense" in the way you think as in football, basketball, etc. What Carolyn is talking about is Vanderbilt was playing conservatively. They came into the championship as the defending National Champs and they were playing "not to lose". When you are bowling "defensively", you are trying to make perfect shots and not make mistakes. Bowling defensively can cause you to bowl tight and you are not as aggressive as you need to be.
@@juicypear3044 There is a difference mentally speaking. Playing "not to lose" is playing conservative. You're not focusing on winning as much as you are focusing on not making a mistake. Many times focusing on not making a mistake can cause a mistake. Much like in golf when your last swing thought is "don't hit it in the water"; where does the ball go?...in the water. Bowling to win is a more aggressive approach. You're willing to risk a mistake because you feel the reward "winning" is greater than the risk.
I wish the UK had a similar emphasis on college/university sports. The whole idea of playing sports and being on national TV repping your uni/school is just so cool. I'm 24 and graduated from uni in 2020, but wish it becomes a thing here in the future.
I used to work at a bowling alley next door to London Heathrow Airport in the late 90's and there were so many borough teams from all over used to come and take up half the building. I used to love watching them, their funky team shirts, the different colour bowling balls, seeing crowds of bystanders and their kids stood with drinks and food watching them play, the atmosphere was amazing. On a few occasions there were internationals which really showed the good vs the best. It blew me away, I never saw a bowling ball travel down a lane faster than those professionals and with such control. It's nice that more women have taken up bowling, because 20+ years ago it was very male dominated.
It’s less about team encouragement but more about psyching out the other team being loud and pumped. It’s literally passive aggression at its finest. They do the same thing in girls softball the chanting and cheering is more for the other team than your own lol
High five after every single shot? Like after leaving a 7 count on the first ball? I got no problem even doing it after missing a spare, like to help pick up your teammate, but lets at least get thru the whole frame first lol
There's too much high-fiving going on in sports these days, and it slows things down. It's gotten so bad that basketball players high five everyone of their team mates on the floor after a missed free throws. Good grief, shoot your free throws and get on with the game.
Gabe Journey You don't know that already without having to high 5 a hundred times? This is one of the several reasons women's college athletics are so annoying.
@@johnniec2861 No matter what pattern you bowl on a good straight spare shot (which college players should have) and a plastic or urethane spare ball will do the same thing.
@@Warlord85 These women are about as "serious" as anybody in bowling has ever been. It's a psychology difference. Some people feed off the energy. Some are distracted by it (think PDW when the crowd isn't completely silent). People need encouragement more when struggling than when succeeding. Keeps the negative attitude away. If somebody doesn't feel so beat up over a bad/open frame, it won't weigh on their mental game and they're more likely to throw a better ball on the next shot than if their teammates tell them they suck.
That's common in team sports made from individual activities. In college gymnastics, for instance, staying positive even after a bad routine means that the *next* gymnast will be more likely to do well.
Absolutely comical - I've never seen so many thunder-thighs & hive-fives in such high concentration in my entire life. And needless to say, I had the video muted!
Not sure what they have against sitting down. Personally I think it would suck to stand the whole time. The mandatory high 5s for nothing would get old too.
Don't understand the high fives when you open and also before you finish the frame also too much talking when someone else is up on the lanes I would be disturbed by it
Then that simply means that you haven't learned how to shut out distractions. Not trying to be mean or offend anyone, but part of the great thing about being a pro is you learn these things. Plus, high fiving is good to keep the team spirit up.

Paige Beeney was definitely my favorite to watch. Dakota Faichnie was good too. All the Ladyjacks did great, but I think those two need to be carried off the boards...
Emily Rigney vs. Dakota Faichnie -- Emily started off great picking up her spares, but Dakotah did a great job throughout the game getting those strikes.
You do realize the high fives don't dictate the time, right? They have to wait for the other bowler to take their first shot before they can throw their spare attempt.
@@YouGotSniiiiiiiped Yes, I can clearly see that. Solution: bowl a full frame like they do in the pros. No back and forth between teams. Institute a shot clock. I like the comradery, I bowled collegiate myself, but let's speed this thing up.
