THIS WEEKS TIP FROM JONI:

Skips: Communicate to the sweeper (to relay to the thrower) why their shot was not made. Most of the time, they will already know.....unless the weight thrown was different than asked. Also, remember your players love to hear "good shot" or "good weight". Don't have to overdo this, but a little positive reinforcement can go along way.

After promising ourselves for years that we were going to work on our strategy and sweeping, Joby Berman finally contacted Joni Cotten and the event was on the calendar. The clinic started with an overview and stories of Joni's experiences (we could have spent all day doing just that), but we grabbed our brooms and hit the ice. When our bodies started to get tired, it was back to the dining room to discuss strategy. So at the end of the day, both our bodies and minds were very tired. Many thought that Joni had such great lesson that we would try to post a tip from Joni each week.
