What I've learned through curling: "I
feel that curling has taught me a lot about myself. I find that my curling experiences
are applicable to other areas in my life. The teamwork, team dynamics,
dedication, discipline, hard work, and most importantly, good communication
skills, are essential in the other things I am involved with outside of
curling.”
