Curling skips expectations of the lead


The lead:


Responsibilities: The lead is responsible for setting up the end. 

The lead rocks determine the tactical approach to any given end.  The outcome of the end is a direct result of the leads shots. 

Once the lead has thrown both rocks, the lead's responsibility is to be a supportive teammate for the others and to become one of the core sweepers.


Profile: 


The lead is the type of person that fully understands their role . The lead has usually been recognized as the least experienced  or skilled player. Not so.

 Leads generally throw draw shots with a few takeouts now and then. The ideal lead that has a fluid, all-body delivery, which results in very consistent draw weight.
