That's a result of the financial support, professional coaching and guidance from Jim that all members of Team Canada receive - and of course the hard work she herself has put into her performance..https://www.blogger.com/profile/16977271452654335000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756899534609502905.post-72022811792301782452009-11-18T15:56:27.290-08:002009-11-18T15:56:27.290-08:00unfortunately - the comment i made regarding our t...unfortunately - the comment i made regarding our technical ability has been taken very much out of context....and by the first blooger - given a negative twist - therefore i feel the need to respond.<br /><br />my comment was made with the utmost respect and confidence that i have in my teammates technical ability - to execute the shots that jim calls. each and every one of them has a step by step process required prior to releasing the stone - one which more often than not - ends up with a positive result. i admire all of them for the time and effort they have put into establishing a process that works for them and their abilities.<br /><br />yes - we have a huge advantage due to the fact that jim is our "strategic leader!" and bringing years of experience and knowledge to our game and sharing it with all of us - please don't think for a second that we are not aware of this.<br /><br />but.....we do actually have to give jim the shots that he calls - and that happens for many reasons -one of which is solid technial ability.<br /><br />i could go on and on - but i am not going to do that. i just hope that i have been able to clarify any misunderstanding that this comment may create when taken out of context. <br /><br />i would just like to say in closing that there is no arrogance or egos on this team. it is kind of sad though - that someone feels the need to put a negative spin on an innocent and positive remark.<br /><br />thanks for listening.....lets move forward with this sport :)Sonja Gaudetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756899534609502905.post-88580773984371522052009-11-14T09:34:54.058-08:002009-11-14T09:34:54.058-08:00Jim said: "This team is a great group.
