“I’ve been bowling for fun my whole life,” Coffey said. “My dad was in leagues, and just being around it was really fun,” said Coffey, Senior Bowler. “Fear of rejection is very there,” Coffey said. “I tend to get impatient and irritated easily, so my goal is to keep a level head. If I start getting off my rocker, everyone is,” she said. “I like to help everyone feel safe.”
According to Coffey, she has been surrounded by bowling for most of her life, developing a love for the sport through family and experience.
