#5: What's it like to be a pro bowler? - Sean Rash
Sean Rash is a professional bowler, currently ranked top 10 on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour, and in 2011-2012 was voted PBA Player of the Year.
I had a lot of questions. We hear a lot about massive contracts in NFL, NBA and other pro sports. Bowling? Not so much. How much do bowlers earn in sponsorships? What does it cost to play a year on tour? Do they exercise or have mental coaches? And what the hell does double wood, cliffed lanes, and playing the puddle mean?
Sean explains it all, gives insight to life as a pro bowler, and even throws in some tips so we can all suck a little less at bowling.
