In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I welcome back Emily Riley whose first visit with me set something of a record for downloads. As those of you who heard Emily's episode know, she has enjoyed a very successful junior career in her home province of Quebec and now is on the road to similar success in women's and mixed curling. About a month ago, Emily and her mixed teammates won the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship and, well, I'll let her tell you all about that and other things that have changed in both her life as an elite curler and as a Mental Performance Consultant.

As I say in my introduction, with this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I finally talk about the "S" word. That would be strategy but as the title of this episode indicates, strategy has a companion. It's tactics and as you'll learn, to have one without the other is like having peanut butter without jam.
Here's what this episode does not do. It does not at anytime, tell you what shot you should play. It does provide you with the means to make an informed decision to do just that. Confused? You won't be by the time this episode concludes and when it does, I have an offer for you and your team. I urge you to pass this episode along to your teammates and that especially applies if you're the coach of a young team!

This episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" will be of special interest to my listeners south of the 49th parallel of latitude.  The last number of months have been difficult ones for USA Curling and its member associations and of course, the curlers. As one who has had an affiliation and an ongoing affection with curling in the United States and its curlers, I have watched, listened and read with great interest the turmoil that has erupted with that national sport organization. To help me better understand what has occurred and what the future holds for USA Curling, I have turned to a friend in Rice Lake, WI in the person of Karen Dundore.

It's episode #50 of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast". As the episode title indicates, I'm looking back to say "thank you" to friends whose unique knowledge, expertise & experiences made their episodes, impactful. My grandsons, Jacob & Lucas will take the reins for that portion of the episode with some very wise words for young athletes by Lucas.
I answer a question about what appears to be one of the favourite topics for "A Pane In The Glass Podcast". That would be brushing! I cite the words of Dr. Glenn Paulley in providing my response.

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I pay a visit to the home of APITGP's sponsor, Canada Curling Stone  Co. in Komoka, ON. With me in this episode is the managing general of CCS, Fred Veale and his daughter, Kim Tuck. Fred has forgotten more about curling stones than I'll ever know! This episode is the companion to the previous one with national ice technician, Jon Wall. Apparently those of you out there who listen to APITGP did so with enthusiasm regarding "What's The Ice Telling Us?". There were more downloads of Jon's episode in the first 24-48 hours of publication than any other, and by a long shot. This episode with Fred & Kim I confident will be just as popular.
And, there's a bonus with this episode as Kim (along with husband Wayne) are an elite mixed doubles team. I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to chat with Kim about curling's newest, and possibly fastest growing curling discipline!

Today's episode in "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" is about our playing surface. There are few if any other sports where the understanding of and interaction with the playing surface plays such a major role in performance. To help us learn more about curling ice, I have invited a national ice technician to join us in the person of Jon Wall. If you're an active curler or someone who watches the game played on TV, you will enhance your experience by listening to someone who creates our playing surface and not just for those TV events, but also for the understanding of the ice upon which most of us play in our local curling facility.

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" we take another, more in depth look at "concussions". My guest again in this episode is our "Safe Sport Consultant", Jenn Ferris. If you're rolling your eyes thinking that a concussion is highly unlikely in curling, you may change your mind after hearing what Jenn has to say!
At the conclusion of the episode, I once again invite my listeners to send comments and/or questions ([email protected]) for a "Mail Bag" episode. If I can't answer your question, it's more than likely I know someone who can so please, send me lots of comments and questions!!!
