Many times, a team's success in league or tournaments do not come from each individual's ability as much as their ability to come together as a team. Working together for a common goal, or teamwork, is essential for success in team bowling. Here are some tips for making your team a better team. Support, don't criticize. Everyone wants to do well to support the team's cause, but sometimes that just doesn't happen.
People get into slumps, or have bad games.
It's important for the other team members to know that that bowler is doing their best, and probably feels bad enough already. Getting onto him or criticizing him isn't going to make it better. In fact, it could make it worse, because it could cause animosity and take the bowler even further away from what he or she is trying to accomplish. This will let the bowler know that you're on his side. Knowing the other team members are behind you rather than criticizing every shot you make helps the psyche tremendously, and will allow effort to be put into shot making.
