Podcast Appearances:
I was able to join the Sean and Scott of the Game of Stones podcast to talk about the book in October 2024. Click here for details on the episode and to listen in, or look for Game of Stones in your podcast app of choice.
I joined Stephanie for episode 82 of the Empowered Performance podcast in October 2024 to talk about the book and our shared experience in the league that helped inspire it.
Reviews:
The front of the book features some pullquotes from the beta readers, some of which came out in conversation and I said I had to quote that, and some of which were graciously written specifically for the purpose. As more reviews are posted I will post some here.
“It captured the feel of the game so well that I immediately looked up the curling schedule at our local club.” — Sandi Martin
“‘Hurry hard’ and pick up this book – John has summarized curling theory and concepts that will fill the gaps in your curling knowledge as a curling beginner and improver. Grab your broom, put on your grippers, and get ready to be swept off your feet in this introduction to curling.” — Christine Mok
“As someone who has helped to develop the Learn to Curl program at Unionville, and has worked with other coaches to teach several hundred people the art of curling, I would highly recommend this book. It delves further into the science and strategy of curling, beyond what can be shared in a few weeks’ worth of lessons.” — Kelly Tooley
