Now is the time to train for the 2010-2011 season by following the programs in Fit to Curl: A Sport-Specific Guide to Training for the World’s Greatest Game by Olympic Gold Medalist John Morris. It’s available at fittocurl.com, at curling pro shops and at Chapters/Indigo/Coles throughout Canada. And on Saturday, May 15th at 2 PM, John will be signing copies of the book at the Chapters store at 66 Crowfoot Terrace NW in Calgary.
