63 | Nationals, World Series Glory & What the Elite Really Do Differently
🎙️ EPISODE 63 – is a big one as Simon Lyttle and DJ Dilworth unpack a massive period in the bowls calendar
The boys dive deep into:
A full wrap of the Australian National Championships, including Champion of Champions, Singles and Australian Sides
A behind-the-scenes look at the inaugural World Bowls Series Finals at Club Barham
What it was really like to be greenside and on commentary for a world-class event
Standout performances from Gary Kelly, Dawn Hayman, Max Kleining, Natalie Lewis and more
Why elite players don’t just “rock up” and what club bowlers can learn from their preparation
Simon then rounds out the episode with a Coach’s Corner focused on:
Mental clarity on the mat
Emotional control under pressure
Visualisation and pre-shot routines
How club players can apply elite habits immediately
The episode also marks the final show before the Christmas break, with reflections on the year that was and what’s ahead in 2026.
🎧 A must-listen for anyone who loves bowls, follows elite competition, or wants to genuinely improve their game.
