ABOUT TURNING POINT

Turning Point is a world leader in development and performance enhancement specializing in adult and youth curling instruction. We offer diverse programming to our clients, and extend our service to athletes around the world. We create the conditions for any curler to excel.

Unique in its design, the Turning Point concept encompasses the “whole athlete, whole team” approach, integrating the coach in all training activities. Coach education has always been an important element of our programming, and as we expand to include high performance team development, coach development will continue to be a major focus. Our staff is tailored to the needs of the participants and they have the opportunity to request specific topics and areas of expertise. Forums with staff coaches and visiting coaches have proven to be very valuable aspect of our program. We are excited to announce that Earle Morris, Coach of Team Canada (Pat Simmons) has joined the Turning Point Team. Earle brings a wealth of expertise and contagious enthusiasm. Like all of Turning Points staff coaches, he is passionate about developing curlers from the youth to elite level. 

The Turning Point curriculum is based around the philosophy that strong fundamentals, hard work, quality practice and high functioning team dynamics produces great teams. At Turning Point, strong technique, quality feedback and repetition are the cornerstones of our teaching.

In addition to the technical and tactical elements of the game, Turning Point places high emphasis on sport psychology, nutrition and physical preparation. A highly qualified, professional mental performance consultant and physiotherapist are available to the participants in our programs. All Turning Point coaches are NCCP certified with many years of experience playing and/or coaching at the highest levels of competition.
