In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I take a look at practice from the standpoint of an individual athlete and from a team perspective. It's a continuation of an episode in season three ("Practice What A Novel Idea'). To conclude this week's episode I use a soundbite from Pete Carroll, coach of the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League. Pete talks about the various types of coaches. If you are a coach, where do you fit into Pete's spectrum of coaches?

In this pebble water version of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I deal with an application of "The Aggregation Of Marginal Gains" (from last week's episode) and a topic that almost goes without notice at the start of a curling season, footwear, but not one's curling shoes per se but rather that portion of those shoes that actually touches the ice surface including some sound bites on footwear and brushing by Joanne Courtney. Enjoy!

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" we go back to Season 2 Episode 49. In that episode I interviewed Chris Karger, the fifth member of Team Denmark at the 2023 European B Men's Curling Championship. Chris had been a professional football player whose career was cut short due to injury. That's when he decided to take up curling, not recreationally, but competitively, really competitively! I was sitting beside Chris behind a pane in the glass at that event when he shared with me, what I called, "The One Percent Solution" but as your will hear Chris describe it, the "Aggregation of Marginal Gains". Don't be deterred by that phrase, it's really about how your team can become greater than the sum of its parts!
