Ever since announcing his return to competitive bowling, Mike Bolland has been getting one question after another from friends, bowlers, podcast listeners, and people discovering his story for the first time.
In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, Mike answers the top three questions he keeps hearing:
🎳 How did he start bowling?
🎳 Why did he walk away from the sport?
🎳 Why is he coming back now at 61 years old?
Mike shares the story behind becoming the first person with limb loss to compete on the PBA Tour, the life experiences that pulled him away from bowling, and how volunteering with Arizona Disabled Sports unexpectedly helped inspire his comeback journey toward the PBA60 World Championship.
This episode is about much more than bowling. It’s about reinvention, resilience, identity, and realizing it’s never too late to take one more shot at something meaningful.
And Mike wants your questions too.
