Injuries:

“Not really. Just sprained ankles from sliding into bases.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

Start:

“Dad was an icemaker so we were always around the rink (Red Deer Curling Club). I started in the Little Rock league when I was five, quite a bit younger than the other kids.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

Reason:

“I really loved the social aspect of the game, it was unique compared to other sports. I’d watch curling and see everyone go upstairs and sit together, with the opposition, and become best friends with everyone.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

Training:

On-ice training plus off-ice gym workouts six days a week, two hours per session, with weekends off.

Winning the 2021 Canadian Olympic Trials. “That was probably the most excited I’ve ever been. I can’t really think past that right now.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

Hero:

“Growing up, Jennifer Jones (CAN) was one of the best. She was so charismatic in front of the camera and she’s done a lot for women’s sport. I grew up wanting to be like her and now I’m on her team, going to the Olympics with her. It’s pretty crazy.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

Influence:

Her mother, who coached her throughout her junior career, and who was a board member with the Alberta Sports Development Centre.

None

“Just work hard and good things will happen. That’s been my motto since I’ve been very young.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

General Interest

NIGHT SHOPPING
After winning an Olympic berth, she purchased an Olympic rings necklace online that same night at 2:00 a.m. “I wasted no time. My teammates all have one from 2014. After we won, I couldn’t sleep for like two days, I was so excited.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

TEENAGE INSPIRATION
In 2011, Vancouver 2010 Olympic silver medallist Cheryl Bernard (CAN) spoke at her curling camp. Peterman was a teenager at the time. “I just remember being so inspired by her conversation. I remember one of our coaches at that camp saying ‘you guys better listen to her, one person in this room might achieve the same things as her.’ I remember thinking, that’s going to be me. I have to be that one person.” (reddeeradvocate.com, 26 Jan 2022)

DISAPPOINTMENT
Came second at an unsanctioned U18 championship at age 14. “I remember being so crushed at seeing how much fun the team we lost to were having. I remember that being a trigger for me, to work as hard as possible to never feel that disappointment again. We won the next year.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)

POST-CAREER PLANS
“Occupational therapy is my goal, but I can’t do that right now with my curling schedule. I like learning and challenging myself.” (Athlete, 17 Dec 2021)
