In Curling: Steps to Success, Sean has amassed a comprehensive drill book that every coach will find useful: those at the beginning stages of their curling careers and those at the highest levels of competition. Use Sean’s drills and your team will improve its skills—guaranteed. This is the eight-ender of coaching manuals.”
