Northern Ontario Critique Too Harsh

A highly critical article written in the Sudbury Star about a team playing at the Northern Ontario Scotties last week picked apart a team who threw it together. A good response here to a situation where the Spirit of Curling wasn't observed.

MR Arkilander seems to be very full of himself as a coach. I noted that he referenced only one unheard of winning team that he has coached. Could someone provide a list of high profile teams that this exceptional coach has coached?

negativity rots people

Easy to see the nasty writer, Mr. Alan Arkilander. is a lawyer..
who needs to either talk personally to the players he's dissing
or stop labelling himself as a coach..

I think we are all spoiled by the top level of curling televised. We forget what curling is really like...it would be nice to see the Association maybe offer some clinics where the club curler could learn to prepare for competition. After all entries are dropping so it would be a benefit to the associations. And charge a fee. Aspiring competitive knee-sliders could then feel much more confident about entering.

well done.... ^^^

There are some jewels in your long notes of wisdom
Your harshness has become more objective / interesting

People can choose who they read / respond to

Concerning the publicly criticized curler..
is NOT how good coaches nurture. build, respect

I wouldnt listen to or respect a coach who embarassed me that way..
