About Amy Bushaw:

Curls out of: Grand Forks Curling Club

Curling start: "I started curling because my friends were and I wanted something to do on Tuesday nights."

What she enjoys most about curling: "What I enjoy most about curling is that it is a finesse sport. Anybody can be good at if you practice. I also enjoy the social aspect that comes with playing curling."

Other sports: "I enjoy staying active in athletics. I play volleyball, basketball, and hockey in the winter along with curling. In the summer, I play softball and golf."

Curling goals: "Until last year, I really didn't have any goals other than to have fun and socialize at league. After a group of ladies from our club started competing at the state and national championships, I started to think that I would like to compete at a competitive level, too. Now that I have accomplished that, I guess my new goal would be to win a national championship."

Strengths: "I think that my biggest strength is that I have picked up the game of curling quickly. Not just the physical aspect, but the strategy of the game as well which is probably just as important. I was fortunate enough my first year to play in league with three younger girls that had played in both state and national junior level championships. So, although this might not only be my sixth year of curling, I feel like I've been playing forever."

Hobbies: "I enjoy anything that has to do with sports. I love to play, coach and watch any type of sport. I also enjoy playing different card games with my family and hanging out with friends."
