A New Year's Pebble Water Edition

In this 21st Pebble Water episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I touch on two topics. The first is my take on a video by Jamie Sinclair that she posted on Facebook. It was excellent and it was about weight control, perhaps the most important of all the skills in curling. The second is a reply to an email from listener Leslie Gerard who had a question/observation about the value of having last rock in the first end. Leslie felt it was too important in deciding the outcome of a game and won...

A Holiday Edition

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I have something for you and for the young children in your circle of family and friends. I suspect the brief introductory narration will elicit a lot of head nodding from parents of little rock or U15 curlers and the second portion will be up to you. In Season 1 Episode 44 my friend from Newfoundland & Labrador, Jean Blackie, allowed me to record her wonderful children's story "He Sweeps! He Scores". As you can tell from Jean's title...

Empowering The Athlete Through The Awareness Method v. Slice & Dice

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I compare two methods of achieving a coach's signature goal, helping the athlete achieve a technical skill by either slicing and dicing or making the athlete aware of exactly what they're doing and actively engaging them in the process of deciding what will work best. It's about empowering the athlete. In the episode I cite the work of Dr. Timothy Gallwey. The chapter markers will help you find my three stages of the awareness method and Dr. Ga...

Two Coaches Discuss Weight Control

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I respond to a question sent my way from a coach who asked about curling's signature skill, weight control, how to measure it and more importantly, how to help his athletes develop a feel for it. When I suggested that we chat voice-to-voice, it led to today's episode. It’s your turn! Send me your thoughts by texting here!

Growing The Game In An Olympic Season

My returning guest today on "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" is Bobby Ray, Senior Manager, Club Development & Member Services for Curling Canada. This is not just any curling season, it's an Olympic curling season. History has demonstrated that those who don't curl but watch the game unfold on its biggest stage every four years, get inspired to contact curling facilities to explore the possibilities of getting involved. Those same curling facilities need to be ready to receive and expand on ...

Coach's Notebook - Practice

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I take a look at practice from the standpoint of an individual athlete and from a team perspective. It's a continuation of an episode in season three ("Practice What A Novel Idea'). To conclude this week's episode I use a soundbite from Pete Carroll, coach of the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League. Pete talks about the various types of coaches. If you are a coach, where do you fit into Pete's spectrum of coaches? It’s your turn! ...

Pebble Water 18.0

In this pebble water version of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I deal with an application of "The Aggregation Of Marginal Gains" (from last week's episode) and a topic that almost goes without notice at the start of a curling season, footwear, but not one's curling shoes per se but rather that portion of those shoes that actually touches the ice surface including some sound bites on footwear and brushing by Joanne Courtney.

The Aggregation Of Marginal Gains

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" we go back to Season 2 Episode 49. In that episode I interviewed Chris Karger, the fifth member of Team Denmark at the 2023 European B Men's Curling Championship. Chris had been a professional football player whose career was cut short due to injury. That's when he decided to take up curling, not recreationally, but competitively, really competitively! It was sitting beside Chris behind a pane in the glass at that event that he shared with me, ...

Better Than The Right Answers

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I reprise an article I wrote about the Socratic Method of teaching and instructing . As you might guess from the title of the episode, it's all about asking the right questions as opposed to providing what you as instructor/coach believe to be the right responses! I talk about the best "in game" coaching performance I have ever witnessed (it's in the context of a women's ice hockey game with the world championship on the line). I tell you about...

Because We've Always Done It That Way

In this last of the summer series of episodes in "A Pane In The Glass Podcast", we take a look at the way organizations, (i.e. groups of people with a clear objective) go about achieving that objective. To illustrate what many groups do I recount a well known research project called "The Monkeys And The Bananas". I use a soundbite to demonstrate just how easy it is to do two simple everyday tasks the same way each and every time. I share some basic research on the topic of group decision maki...
