Meet Shelby "300" Thompson
Shelby grew up in a competitive bowling family and was on track to go pro when an injury cut her career short. But that didn’t stop her love for the sport—it only changed how she shares it.
Now she brings her deep experience, sharp eye, and encouraging energy to coaching. Whether you’re a total beginner, a seasoned league player, or just want to stop guttering your first ball—Shelby’s got your back (and your backswing).
““I can’t play professionally anymore—but I can make you better than you’ve ever been.””
Bowling from the heart
Shelby’s coaching focuses on:
✔️ Clean, consistent mechanics
✔️ Understanding lane conditions & oil patterns

““Shelby is a fantastic bowler, human, and coach! She observes and listens very well, helping me better understand how to achieve the kind of ball that I wanted to throw. Her ability to communicate and inspire is 10/10! I would definitely go bowling with Shelby again, given the opportunity.””
