Canadian Curling Great Brad Gushue Named High-Performance Director with USA Curling
The Olympic champion will guide talent identification and long-term athlete development as USA Curling builds toward the next Olympics.
- On Wednesday, USA Curling announced Brad Gushue will serve as high-performance director, tasking the Canadian legend with elevating United States gold-medal chances at the next two Olympic Games.
- Gushue brings a decorated resume including six Brier wins, a world championship, and 15 Grand Slam titles, retiring two months ago with an emotional farewell at a Brier in St. John's, Nfld.
- USA Curling CEO Dean Gemmell cited Gushue's "extensive experience as a manager of business operations and as a leader of teams both on and off the ice." Gushue consulted Gerry Peckham, who held the role for 33 years at Curling Canada.
- Acknowledging it will be "awkward" to compete against his home country, Gushue travels south next week to participate in an emerging talent showcase while identifying the next stars.
- Gushue emphasizes sustained success requires planning in a "six, eight, 10-year span" to build a high-performance culture delivering podium results at world championships and Olympic Games.
