The shots you select must be

consistent with your team’s

strategic DNA, the game plan

you have chosen and the plan

selected for the next end!

Each style of play has its risks.

An offense first style risks negative outcomes.

A defense first style risks missing offensive opportunities.

A blended attack risks a miscalculation of the odds or

difficulties with team dynamics.

Choose your style wisely!

By the way, there’s no strategy that works if you

get out-curled!

It’s all about makingcurling shots!
