I grew up in the same area and have known many bowlers at Plano Super Bowl who talk about him a lot. They’re always rooting for him when he’s on TV

These two documentaries have been incredible, I'd love to see more features like this - the content, storytelling, production, everything.

Agreed 🙏

Anthony is my inspiration not only as a bowler but as a person. I relate to him a lot. Nice to see his story is being shared with us all. Makes me respect him a hell of a lot more than I already did

I bowled the DFW Youth Travel League with Simonsen most of my youth bowling years. He was a fun kid to watch even for us other kids at the time. Always enjoyed it. Watched him roll a 300 around 2010 ish in Greenville, TX. Also bowled head to head best 2 of 3 match against him at City View Ft worth around the same year. He won the first game and beat me the 2nd 244-243. Hell of a time and memory. Best wishes for a long career for him.

The fact that Simonsen overcame the tragedies he had gone through and still does what he loves is incredible. And he is one of the best at doing what he loves. Bowling is the best sport.

Excellent video. Very sad at times, but this young man has overcome the odds and has become one of the top bowlers in the PBA.

Thanks Anthony for sharing your story. Your hard work paid off.

This kid should never be doubted ever again in his life for what he has gone through to achieve what he's always wanted to do for the rest of his life.

This is 'must see TV' for anyone who loves the sport!

Thank you for sharing Anthony Simonsen! Your truly an inspiration to this world. Godspeed

What a great document to such an amazing bowler and person! Just goes to show, you never know what someone may be going through or overcome, great story and inspiration!

This was tough to watch for me as my mother has early onset Alzheimer's. I always wanted to to something professionally and my mother was always my biggest supporter. Getting serious into bowling its very sad to think if i get to that point she might not even remember who i am anymore. I related so deeply with simo as i have spent nights crying because my mom really is my best friend. From a young age i told her everything i was the biggest mamas boy and its tough watching the transition. Keep these videos up i really love learning the players backstories and hardships that i am currently idolizing.

Do it for her! Even if she may not remember your successes, you'll always feel better knowing you gave it your all.

It was really cool to hear Simos story. Thanks for sharing homie!

Pls keep doing these!

Excellent documentary! Loved him before this, love him more now! Big fan and look forward to his long career in this sport and where it takes him! Walter Rays 47 win record is going down!!!

Thank you for sharing. Your inspirational story can inspire many people who are interested in our Sport of Bowling.

I never knew.... Thank you so much for producing and publishing this video. Its so much more than just about bowling.

Seeing this has completely turned my head on this kid. Not that I haven’t rooted for him in the past because he’s one of my favorites. But what a story. Happy he’s had success

These documentaries are so enjoyable man

These videos are so crazy amazing first belmo now simo I’m so excited for the future

I can relate to how Anthony handles not bowling well. I am the same exact way. I always tell myself I’m going to handle bad breaks better and I always act the same way. I’ve been working on it but sometimes my frustration gets the best of me

Such a beautiful story 👍🏻 and it reminds me a lot of myself about how my life kind of was growing up definitely not the same by any means but I had the potential he had but unfortunately didn't capitalize on it like how Anthony did but just like my grandma used to say it's never too late and I also plan on joining him on the pba tour I know I'm good enough I just need the opportunity maybe someday ☺️👌🏻💯

I learned to bowl at Ayr Lanes in Liberal Kansas. It wasn't Billy's at the time and they had 24 lanes instead of 16. 1-8 used to be where the bar, arcade and dance floor is now. It is so cool to see that hanging on the wall

We love you Anthony!!!! Keep it up dude!!!

This was very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this

Absolute Masterpiece

I've seen a lot of people hate on him for his attitude, I'm glad to see what made him what he is today, even though he still has occasional outbursts, it's directly at himself unlike some bowlers who blame others for their inability to win. I hope Simo reaches that level of peace in his mind i'm sure it's not easy with his life experiences. nevertheless, he is one of the greats of the sport.

Cool little documentary. Any idea what happened to his dad?

He lost his dad in September 2021.

Did he leave the grande there?

wouldn't be cool he bought the jupiter bowling alley back and got it up and running again

6:57 isn't this the guy who was in thr audience when he won the Player's Championship?

I'm surprised he didn't mention Chuck Lande... Im sure he was an influence.

How come I saw this on another KZread channel about a week or two ago?

@@LucasWiseman That’s always aggravating good thing KZread can do wonders if the actual owners provide proof they own original footage. You look like you guys film in raw, so easily can have it taken down! Look forward to seeing y’all in Vegas later this year

I still say this kid is the next Belmo but he gotta get that anger under management, Once he does hey, skies the limit.
