Episode 007 - Craig Brown and Jason Smith (Team Brown) - Bonus Interview with John Morris

10/18/2017

Picture
Less than a month until the U.S. Olympic Curling Trials begin in Omaha, host Price Atkinson talks with Team Brown's Jason Smith and skip Craig Brown in episode 7 about the team's preparation, both of their past Olympic experiences plus Smitty's claim of being the "best" athlete in the HPP and more. 
Plus a special bonus interview as Joe Calabrese and Price welcome 2010 Olympic gold medalist and Canadian skip John Morris who talked with us about his career, pursuit of another trip to the Olympic Games, the USCA's Olympic Trials process and he also handicaps the men's field for the upcoming U.S. Trials!

This week's giveaway is a FS-1 Stabilizer!  

Specifically designed by Earle Morris (three-time Brier competitor, 1998 World Junior coach, and coach of Team Canada), the Stabilizer is the only curling sliding device of its kind with a patent and an extension option. The sliding pads on the 3 points of contact with the ice help ensure a quiet and smooth delivery directly toward the target.  

The Stabilizer will:
- Help square your shoulders.
- Take pressure off the knee.
- Stabilize your delivery.
- Improve your game!

By keeping the brush hand at similar height as the delivery hand, the Stabilizer helps keep both shoulders level and square to the line of direction. Whichever model you choose, it will provide a solid sliding platform that stabilizes you, making the delivery easier and more consistent for curlers of all levels.

To enter, go to use the widget on the upper right hand corner of this page.

Episode 005 - Todd Birr & John Benton (Team Birr)

In episode #5, we have an exclusive interview with Team Birr's John Benton and skip Todd Birr. Team Birr was successful in appealing to be included in the upcoming U.S. Olympic Trials after a recent U.S. Curling Association Judiciary Hearing Panel sided with Team Birr in a 2-1 vote (on Sept. 21, 2017).

​Birr and Benton talked about the long appeal process before the USCA, the crux of their argument in why they should've originally been selected for the Olympic Trials, overwhelming support from the curling community, new team member Hunter Clawson and now preparing to compete at the Trials in Omaha.

Plus our weekly roundtable as 2-time Olympian Jessica Schultz joins hosts Price Atkinson and Joe Calabrese!

And a great giveaway from our friends at Red Elephant Chocolates!

Red Elephant Chocolate’s sophisticated yet whimsical approach, premium products and ideal locations helped them become one of Wisconsin’s leaders in handcrafted chocolates. What sets them apart are their artistic truffles, small-batch caramels, imaginative flavors and distinctive specialties, including “Theobroma” - the world’s rarest chocolate - and the original “Big Cheese” cheddar truffle.

This week, we are giving you the chance to win a “Full House” Curling Themed set of chocolates from Red Elephant Chocolate.  It’s 17 total pieces - 16 curling stone shaped chocolates (8 dark, 8 milk) in a box that looks like a house with their signature elephant chocolate on the button.  To enter click on the win widget at the top of this page.  We will announce the winner next week.
