Coaching
Background
With 20+ years of service in the United States Military, Marines and Navy, Coach Dean Buchanan is no stranger to what strong leadership looks like. He has used his years of experience to cultivate a well rounded training program involving not only the physical game, but lane play, mental game, and necessary values to uphold to be successful. His certifications include 2 graduation certificates from the Kegel Master’s Program and a USBC Silver Coaching certification. In 2019 as a Major in the US Military, Buchanan coached the All Army Men’s Team to a win in the Men’s Team Challenge at the 2019 Armed Forces Bowling Championships. He also is a three-time coach of the Greater Seattle Youth Boy’s All Star Team. Coach Buchanan is no stranger to competition himself as he competed on the All Army-Men’s Team for two years, and competed on the PBA Regional Tour where he had a PBA 300 and was honored as the Pat Paterson Award Recipient for the PBA Northwest Region in 2008.
Coach Sheila Buchanan brings a different lens to the table as she comes with an athletic background from her days as an elite gymnast at the University of Washington, and as she presently performs in the competitive dressage world. Her notable success allows her to incorporate strong experience in mental, physical and emotional training to the sport of bowling. Some of her bowling related certifications include her USBC Bronze Coaching Certification, and she is also a graduate from the two Kegel Master’s Programs on Speed/Release and Direction. Together, these coaches bring a strong and knowledgeable background of what it takes to bridge the gap between your everyday league competitor and the elite professional and collegiate levels.
