Curling - LINDBERG Fredrik

TRANSITION
Joined Team Edin in 2009, throwing second stones for five years. After winning bronze at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, Lindberg and Sebastian Kraupp left the team seeking new opportunities. When Niklas Edin reformed the team, he asked Lindberg to rejoin the team as coach.

“I love to compete but it felt like the right time in life to start doing something else. I wanted to study, but at the same time I wanted to keep a foot in curling and share the knowledge and experiences I have accumulated over the years.” (thegrandslamofcurling.com, 6 May 2014; sok.se, 29 Oct 2015)

COACHING STYLE
“Many times the team plays competition and I study and manage my coaching from home. We work that way sometimes and then we handle communication via the internet and they write weekly reports. Once we meet, we sit down and talk and evaluate how the weeks have been. How did it go? What do I need help with right now? What seems to work? How we want to focus in the near future. Then we start from those reconciliations when we prioritize what needs to be trained.” (sok.se, 6 Oct 2016)
