No one argues that sportsmanship is a lesson we need to teach our young athletes. But where do we start? In this week's episode of Coaching Kids Curling, Coach Glenn gives you Lesson #1: Handshakes. Find out why we shake hands in curling. Know the elements of a proper handshake. And learn about the common "handshake faults" for kids. In this week's “Coaching Tidbit,” we share news of a new video series where famous curlers will answer questions submitted by kids.
