About this book
Have you ever watched curling on TV and thought, 'That looks fun, but I'd have no idea where to start'? The stones are heavy, the ice is slippery, and everyone seems to know a secret language of sweeping and strategy. This guide is your quiet, practical entry point. It's not about becoming an Olympian in ten days — it's about giving you a structured, manageable plan to step out of the stands and onto the ice for the first time, and to do so with confidence and a clear idea of the basics.

★★★★★This guide is honest, which I appreciated. The 10-day plan is actually doable, and the chapter on day one was spot-on about the nerves and the cold. It didn't make me a curler, but it did give me the push to sign up for a 'Learn to Curl' session, and I wasn't completely lost when I got there. It's a bit basic in places, and the tone is a little too casual for my liking, but it's a solid primer for a total novice like me.

★★★★★I've been curious about curling since the Olympics, and this book gave me a realistic look at what it really takes to start. The first day chapter, in particular, was exactly what I needed to read before going to a public open house — it calmed my nerves and set clear expectations. I wasn't a natural, but I knew what a 'delivery' was, which was more than the other newbies. It's not a deep dive, but it's a perfect starting point.
