Here is a glimpse into a brainstorming session with "Team Bear", the USA U25 National Female Curling Team. They, along with other youth leaders, will be shaping how our opening evening on February 21st will go! They will discuss how uncertainty and the unknown has impacted them and shaped their Olympic trials. They will also give insight into how they build teamwork and how their messages of positivity, open-mindedness and body conditioning can give you support and hope.
