Mike Aulby's Rise: Built Different from the Start
Jay Fettig explores Aulby’s childhood and how he grew up long before TV fame and major victories. Aulby explains that bowling started as a family activity, but he quickly discovered something deeper—he could control the ball, repeat shots, and mentally outperform other players even at a young age. By his teens, he knew bowling wasn’t just a hobby; he could truly dominate.
Aulby shares his early breakthroughs, including the moment on the PBA Tour when he knew he belonged with the best in the world. Those early expectations created intense pressure, but they strengthened his mindset and helped him stay calm under bright TV lights, championship finals, and major title moments. His mental strength, discipline, and technical precision are why he won titles across four decades and continues to be recognized as one of the greatest champions in the sport.
This episode shows how elite champions are built from the start—through passion, pressure, skill, and a mindset wired for greatness.
