September 29th, 2008 Bowling No Comments »

Dr. John F. Murray has worked with bowlers at the professional and amateur levels.

At first glance, bowling might seem rather straightforward in its mental demands. When you look closer, however, you soon realize the enormous complexities of changing lane patterns and wax placements, surfaces, challenges of qualifying, and the killer instinct needed to win on the final day of an ESPN televised championship to name a few. It’s a great sport with tremendous mental demands, and like all sports the training off the lanes is just as important mentally.

Dr. Murray recently attended the Bowl Expo in Orlando, Florida as a guest of Tommy Delutz Jr., former #2 ranked bowler in the world and a regular client who asked to make this public. Tommy recovered from major wrist surgery and made a big comeback.

Dr. Murray loves working with football players and teams at all levels. He also developed the “Mental Performance Index” (MPI) for football six years ago, and it is the first team measure of sports performance that incorporates mental factors in the scoring. It is an invaluable resource for coaches to help their teams.
