We are very grateful to the many @RC2023OWG volunteers who were so helpful and made us feel so welcome. Thanks as well to Laura Forget and Sean Turriff who were the #curling PSO organizers for the Games.

The nervous system requires stability. If it doesn’t get it from strength, it will get it from tension. This is true for the physical body in terms of tightness/lack of mobility. 1/

Our Curlers returned to the Club last evening for our annual Open House event. It won’t be long before we are back on the ice! Looking forward to another great season of curling at Mississaugua! πŸ₯Œ #welcomeback #backinthehack @MGCCCurling

Our final pre-season training day on the water for the @ONCurlCouncil U18 Academy teams: boarding on SUPs. Huge thanks to Sheila Kuypers of Wai Nui Outrigger in Oakville for the first-rate coaching and @bugshotblue for organizing!
In addition many thanks to fellow Academy coach @bugshotblue for planning and organizing this superb activity. The athletes get trained in a new experience that gets them out of their comfort zone and requires teamwork to pull it off. πŸ‘πŸ‘Š

Perhaps your diversity plans could also include supporting those with #disabilities to play paracurling too. Despite having only one chance ever to try it, it's been a personal wish of mine for 3 years.Failure to sponsor paracurling opportunities across Canada leaves out of reach

Got a β€œsticky” squat? Try these ! (save for later). Which squat is the β€œright one” for you? It depends on what your body is good at &/or needs more of -something we can determine in a performance audit & touch on in Better Balance happening May 25 -link in bio g #curling

I saw this somewhere recently from β€œThe Great One” @WayneGretzky and thought it was applicable to golf. For all the obsession with technique, we see more tour players who spent their youth creating shots around the greens and hitting β€œwindows” than seeking golf swing utopia.

7/7 Rather than being a threat to curling, I see this program as a response to the many, confounding threats that already exist within the sport. Let's wait and see how this pilot project goes and how successful we are. Hint: we won't be judging success based on the no. of wins.

Frankly I’m just as curious 🧐 However we have ten very keen and engaged U18 athletes, a coaching staff that is absolutely amazing to work with, and the support of @ONCurlCouncil to draw upon. Looking forward to a very successful pilot!
