WCD 016: JASON BELMONTE - World's Best Bowler on Family, Fatherhood, and Making It All Work

Jason Belmonte is an Australian professional ten-pin bowler, and
indisputably one of the best in the world. 


 


He plays on the PBA Tour in the US and is only one of 11 players
in history to win 25 PBA titles. His PBA victories include a
record 13 major championships. He is one of two bowlers in PBA
history to have won the Super Slam, winning all five PBA major
titles. 


 


He has been named PBA Player of the Year 6 of the last 8 years,
including being the overwhelming choice in 2020. Belmonte
accumulated $1 million (USD) in career PBA earnings faster than
any player in history and has 25 career 300 games in PBA Tour
events through 2020.


 


Jason is nothing short of a legend on the lanes. But, that
success hasn't come without certain sacrifices. Playing in the
United States while his family is based out of Australia means
that he has long stints, sometimes up to 3-months at a time, away
from home. As a family man who holds his family relationships in
extremely high regard, this has been the most challenging aspect
of achieving world-class status at his craft. 


 


So in this episode we dive into that, how Jason prioritizes his
family even when he can't be there in person, how he creates
quality time with each of his 3 (soon to be 4) kids, and much
more.
