THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING SUFFICENT SLEEP

Sleep is a major issue to address in order to
maximize performance levels. Teenagers are prone
to be sleep deprived. And, sleep deprivation
is a serious issue for a competitive athlete.
For teenage bowlers who do not get enough
sleep, a major drop in potential performance
will be likely because sleep deprivation causes
the following to occur:

• Impaired motor function

• Delayed visual reaction time

• Diminished mental functioning such as the ability to
pay attention and engage in abstract thinking
and problem-solving

• Reduced ability for decision-making involving the unexpected

• Impaired moods and increased moodiness

• Reduced endurance

• Increased perceived exertion

• Delayed auditory reaction time

• Reduced cardiovascular performance by as much as 11 percent

• Reduced motivation

I'm a very intense person. When I go after something, I want to go after it with everything I have. I want to push myself to the edge.

The spirit, the will to win, and the will to

excel are the things that endure.

These qualities are so much more

important than the
