Books by John Jowdy

John Jowdy is a legend in bowling. He is recognized nationally and internationally as an author, speaker, and top coach of the pros. He has coached more than 100 pros, and many of the bowlers he's worked with--including David Ozio, Del Warren, Randy Peterson, Steve Hoskins, and Kent Wagner--won their first titles after working with him.

In honor of his coaching expertise, Jowdy has been inducted into the Professional Bowling Association (PBA) Hall of Fame and the American Bowling Congress (ABC) Hall of Fame as well as the Texas Bowling Hall of Fame and the San Antonio Bowling Hall of Fame. He has worked with virtually every world-class bowler, including Donna Adamek, Mike Aulby, Parker Bohn III, Nikki Gianulias, Marshall Holman, Dave Husted, Tish Johnson, John Mazza, Amleto Monacelli, Betty Morris, Robin Romeo, Mark Roth, Rick Steelsmith, Brian Voss, Lisa Wagner, Chris Warren, Pete Weber, and Danny Wiseman.

Jowdy is known for teaching the execution and skill of the game, and he has been called the master of teaching the free arm swing. He teaches privately and conducts a seminar series, Bowling at the Highest Level. He's also a skilled and prolific writer. He has received numerous writing awards, including the most prestigious awards a bowling writer can receive: the Flowers for the Living Award, the Mort Luby Meritorious Award, and the DBA Humanitarian Award. A former president of the Bowling Writers Association, he continues to write a syndicated monthly column that is carried in more than 20 national publications, as well as instructional columns for Bowling Digest and Bowling This Month. Columbia Industries, for whom Jowdy serves as pro tour consultant, has established an annual college scholarship in his honor.

Jowdy lives in San Diego, California, with his wife, Brenda.
