75% of what a front end is responsible for is sweeping related, and yet our practices don’t reflect that. In my experience helping curlers improve their brushing performance, I’ve noticed a few trends in terms of what they are not already doing, and what kinds of things help them uplevel their abilities.    In today’s episode I walk you through 5 reasons why you aren’t a better sweeper than you were a year ago, and of course, what you can do about it.   Key resources:

• 5 steps to consciously watch curling -worksheet included
• Brushing plank
• 3 brushing intervals for you and your team
