In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I use an article from McLean's magazine written by Claire Gagne. The topic is the cost incurred by parents whose children play sports (& not just at the elite level). As you might guess, it can be expensive but you might be shocked to learn just how expensive. To conclude the episode I talk about the recently played Presidents Cup, a biannual golf competition started by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, involving professional golfers from the USA and other countries of the world (except Europe). I weigh on why "team" matters plus decorum on the part of spectators. I make reference to an episode from Season Two (#25) that you might find interesting in connection with team v. individual performance. It's entitled " Win As Much As You Can".

As the title of this week's episode indicates, I chat with the newly appointed chair of World Curling's "Athlete Commission", Harri Lill from Estonia. We talk about the Athlete Commission plus curling in general. Harri welcomes anyone who wishes to contact the Athlete Commission ([email protected]) to not hesitate to do so!

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" we take a look at perhaps the most important part of the rule book for curling, the codes of ethics (and you'll notice I used the plural from of the noun ethics because there's more than one of them). World Curling has announced the names of individuals who have been inducted into its Hall of Fame. I talk about Team Ferbey and Glenn Howard. The curling rule book has been standardized across the curling world including a rule about "double touches". The sound bite this week is about a G.O.A.T.

In this first-of-a-kind double feature episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I welcome back Emily Riley, elite athlete (curling) and Mental Performance Consultant. It was simply time to catch up with Emily, with no planned agenda for our midsummer chat but one quickly emerged about how quadrennial planning has affected curling and that morphed into a discussion about the culture of sport.  When we finished our chat more than 45 min. had elapsed which prompted me to make this week's episode that aforementioned "double feature". The topic switch occurred at the 27:30 mark. Enjoy!

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" you will hear the words of Simon Sinek American author & dynamic inspirational speaker. This episode is a Simon Sinek sound bite that touches on a number or areas regarding leadership (think coaching) with special emphasis on the Millennial generation. If that's you and I suspect many of my listeners are either in that generational group or work with those who are, then you've come to the right place! I have unpacked the topics that Simon addresses in "Chapters" above these show notes. I believe you will want to return to portions of the sound bite that might have particular relevance for you!

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I harken to the days when breaking news necessitated a special "Extra" edition of the newspaper. This episode is the podcast equivalent. To satiate your desire for sound bites, I have one about baseball but its message is for all sports! Enjoy!
