Over the course of his remarkable career, Brad Gushue set a new standard of curling excellence. In this very personal and honest memoir, along with award-winning journalist Stephen Brunt, he reflects on his remarkable life and career. From the geographical challenges of competing on the mainland and the international stage, to having to make difficult decisions in fine-tuning his team roster, even if it meant replacing long-time friends, to sharing thoughts on his final competitive season and the difficult decision to step away from the sport he loves, the book offers readers rare insights into Gushue's journey to the top of Canadian sports.
GUSHUE: The Making of a Champion also offers provocative opinions on the future of curling, what it means to be a leader, the importance of family, and the profound impact that the people and landscape of Newfoundland and Labrador have had in shaping Gushue as a person and a competitor.
Brad Gushue is one of Canada's greatest athletes and is regarded as one of the world's greatest curlers. From St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, he is best known for his remarkable consistency and leadership on the ice. He rose to national prominence when he skipped Team Canada to a gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Throughout his career, Gushue has accumulated multiple Brier titles, World Championship medals, and Grand Slam victories, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest skips in curling history.
