Single Comprehensive Bowler Assessment – $110
New to my coaching, or ready for a complete baseline review? This is where to start.

I begin by reviewing your bowling history — your background, current challenges, and goals — so the analysis is grounded in context, not just what I see on screen. From there, I work through your videos angle by angle, giving you specific, actionable feedback you can take straight to the lanes.

What's included:

  • Review of your bowling history and goals
  • Pre-video analysis of your key challenges
  • Multi-angle motion analysis — stance, swing, footwork, spine angle, and ball direction
  • Detailed breakdown of push-away, timing, launch trajectory, and downlane motion
  • Personalized wrap-up with specific tips, goal setting, and a clear plan for what to work on next

How to get started:

  1. Fill out the Bowler History Form — share your background and what you're hoping to improve
  2. Purchase your session and upload your videos using the Purchase & Upload form

Comprehensive Assessment Plus Package – $150
Start strong and follow through — save over 15% by bundling your assessment with one follow-up session.

The full Comprehensive Assessment, plus one Maintenance Evaluation to check your progress after you've had time to practice. It's the most effective way to make sure the changes are sticking and to fine-tune anything that needs attention.

The process is simple: submit your history and videos, receive my detailed assessment, practice the adjustments, then submit a follow-up video for your second evaluation.

How to get started:

  1. Fill out the Bowler History Form
  2. Purchase your session and upload your videos using the Purchase & Upload form
  3. When you're ready for your follow-up, submit your new video via the Basic Video Upload form

Virtual Lesson Bundle — Comprehensive + 5 Follow-Ups – $325
For bowlers serious about sustained improvement. One full assessment plus five follow-up sessions, usable over 12 months.

Real improvement takes time and repetition — and this bundle is built around that reality. You'll start with a complete assessment, then check in with me up to five more times over the next year as your game evolves. Each follow-up keeps you on track, addresses new challenges, and reinforces the progress you've made.

What's included:

  • Full initial motion analysis with a personalized improvement plan
  • Five follow-up evaluations with video breakdowns and targeted guidance
  • Email support between sessions
  • Progress tracking across all sessions

How to get started:

  1. Fill out the Bowler History Form
  2. Purchase your bundle and upload your initial videos using the Purchase & Upload form
  3. Submit follow-up videos anytime over the next 12 months via the Basic Video Upload form

Single Maintenance Evaluation – $60

Already worked with me before? This is your check-in. Submit new videos along with a quick survey — what's improved, what still needs work, and what you're preparing for — and I'll give you a focused breakdown with specific adjustments to keep your game moving forward.

It's the most affordable way to stay sharp between bigger sessions, and a great option before a tournament or league season.

How to get started:

  1. Fill out the Maintenance Survey — describe what's working and what you want to focus on
  2. Purchase your session and upload your videos using the Purchase & Upload form

How to Record Your Videos

Good video makes a big difference in the quality of your analysis. Watch this short clip — I walk you through exactly where to stand and how to set up your camera so I can see everything I need to give you the most accurate feedback possible.

Video Submission Guide

What angles to capture

Send up to five clips — the more angles I can see, the better the analysis. These three positions give me everything I need:

  • From behind: Hold your phone vertically at shoulder height. Keep your full body in frame and don't zoom in.
  • From the side: Hold your phone horizontally and follow the bowler from first step through release. Keep them centered in the frame and stop recording at the release — no follow-through needed.
  • 3/4 view: Stand 1–2 steps behind and 3–4 steps to the side, phone vertical. Make sure the full swing and footwork are visible. No zoom.
Camera settings

Record at 720p HD, 30 fps — that's the sweet spot for motion analysis. Slow-motion mode and resolutions above 720p create file formats that are harder to work with in my motion analysis software, so stick with standard video at 720p.

A few things to keep in mind
  • Send 2–5 clips total — at minimum one from behind and one from the side
  • Trim each clip to a single swing before sending — one swing per file
  • Accepted formats: .MOV, .MP4, .AVI
  • Don't send YouTube links — my analysis software requires the actual video file, and YouTube links will delay the completion of your lesson
How to send your videos
  • Preferred — direct upload: Use the video upload form to attach your files directly — no extra steps required
  • Alternative — cloud link: Upload your clips to Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive and share the link via the contact form
  • Email: To send clips as email attachments, use the contact form to request my personal email address
Turnaround time You'll typically receive your analysis within 2–5 business days of submitting your videos.
Haven't received your lesson link after 5 business days?

The most common reason is that the email containing your lesson link has been sorted into your spam or junk folder — check there first before reaching out.

If it's not in spam, there may be a short delay due to a high volume of submissions. This can happen during Camp Bakes or when I'm traveling for a special event or multi-day private clinic. In those cases, turnaround may extend a few extra days beyond the usual window.

If you've checked your spam folder and it's been more than 5 business days, please contact me directly and I'll follow up as soon as possible.
