A Pane in the Glass Podcast
Pebble Water 12.0
In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I touch on a few topics, thus the title Pebble Water and in this case, the 12th version.
First up is a quick revisit to "eye dominance" as it applies to the delivery of a curling stone. Friend and coaching colleague Gerry Richard weighs in with a thought regarding the "trail leg" (go to S3E4 to hear an entire episode w/Gerry). This past week saw the passing of MLB's greatest hitter, Pete Rose. I talk about his career and his controversial connection with gambling on his team. Bells, buzzers and whistles is a personal dissertation on how curling facilities indicate that "time is up" and a much better way to deal with it. Lastly, you will hear a Ted Talk with the great UCLA Coach John Wooden. Get your pen and paper ready to record his thoughts on teaching, coaching and many other aspects of working with athletes!
