Coaches Corner- The "Gauntlet Drill" and coaching the athlete in front of you

This week we are proud to present Coach Glenn Paulley to the Curler Outreach Educational Series.

Coach Paulley is a certified Competition Development coach for the sport of Curling. He is also the development coach for Wilfrid Laurier University, and for Curling Canada and the Ontario Curling Council

In this talk Coach Paulley will describe the Gauntlet Drill and its use in identifying and correcting delivery faults using the no-lift delivery.

The talk will be targeted towards competitive U18/U21 athletes and their coaches. As the Gauntlet Drill uses a laser to provide line of delivery (LOD) feedback to both the coach and the athlete, he will spend a few minutes to discuss different types of lasers, their use in a curling context, and coach and athlete safety.

Finally, there will be a discussion on the use of the Gauntlet Drill in coaching a team, and the importance of customizing the drill’s layout for different athletes as required, since not all athletes throw a curling stone in precisely the same way.

This session is ideal for any junior coach or coaches training the technical aspects of delivery.
