Front end players (Leads and Seconds) in the sport of curling spend 75% of every game brushing stones. Yet 95% of the material in books on curling is about delivering the stone and strategy. In Brush Like a Badass, the focus is squarely on being a first-rate brusher and a great front end player. You'll learn:
• The optimal body position
• The ideal brush position
• How to generate pressure and speed
• How to judge the weight of the thrown stone
• How to Switch and when to do it
• The reason we sometimes brush for curl
• Why footwork matters
• The importance of cleaning
• How to communicate effectively
• When to inject opinion — and when to keep your mouth shut
It's all in here — the first guide to being the kind of front end player top skips want on their teams. Read this book, put the advice into practice, and you'll find yourself helping your team win more games.
