Mental focus: Take a deep breath to relax

Diaphragmatic breathing helps you stay physically relaxed and helps the mind focus.

Before your shot take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Some people prefer to do this before stepping on the approach while others do this as they're getting into the stance position.

This technique can also be used anytime you are feeling tense, even when away from the bowling center.
