Grew up a “rink rat” at the St. Albert Curling Club, as his father ran the Little Rocks (pre-junior) section. Started curling at age six. (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
“I feel it was ingrained in me when I was young, and it became a huge part of who I was at a young age. For me it was the people. The people I connected to the most were at the curling club, in my curling world, and that’s never changed.” (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
“I’m not too big on results these days. I just want to know that at the end of the day I put all my heart into the effort, day in and day out.” (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
On-ice training three times per week and in the gym at least twice a week. At his age there is increased stretching and mental preparation. (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
Winning Olympic gold at Vancouver 2010, although winning the preceding Canadian Olympic Trials was “probably the bigger accomplishment.” (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
None. (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
His father. (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
“As Wayne Middaugh (CAN) would say, ‘I’m not superstitious, I’m just careful.’ I prepare the same way, everything happens in the same order, try to get to the rink at the same time.” (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
“Dreams are free but the hustle is sold separately.” (Athlete, 29 Dec 2021)
