Gerry Peckham • “We need to evaluate and invest in all aspects of sweeping performance with an eye to enhancing shot execution percentages and team performance standards.”
‘Sweeping’ change carries Alberta rink into Tournament of HeartsALLAN MAKI | Columnist profile | E-mailCALGARY— From Saturday's Globe and Mail Published Friday, Feb. 17, 2012 8:51PM Something had to change. “When you don’t make the playoffs at a provincial, when you’re not coming close, that’s the deflation. That’s when you wonder, ‘What am I doing this for?’” Nedohin said. “But when I come runner-up I think, ‘We’re so close. How do we fine-time those dynamics?’” Nedohin is convinced her bounce-back showing can be traced to a subtle shift. She figured she and her teammates needed to work on endurance and sweeping in an effort to make the tough shots in the late ends. So they spent more time in the gym and they made a subtle change, having sweepers Laine Peters and Jessica Mair switch sides so they could be better positioned to do their job. “There was a recent study about how male sweepers are sweeping and comparing that to what women are doing,” Nedohin explained. “You see women’s events and we’re not having anywhere near the same results on the rocks. … Yes, we’re not as big and strong as the men, but what can we do with positioning [to get the rocks to curl more]? In July, we focused on our sweeping. There was a lot of fine-tuning to our game.” Nedohin struggled early in the season with the “sweeping” changes and experimented with different broom heads for optimum results. The team wasn’t highly rated on the Canadian Team Ranking System, which uses points from various events to determine which rink is hot and which is stone cold. But when it counted, Nedohin outduelled Jessie Kaufman
