Then there's me—a mental skills and leadership coach eager to see if my strategies, effective with professional teams, could help a bowling team in the suburbs of Melbourne. With a resounding "YES" to Deano's invite, I flew to meet the boys...“...We've got this edge over every other team now from what [Andrew] taught us and that just empowered a lot of players and just made us a lot stronger as a team.
