I want to first of all establish a decent amount of knowledge about the game. Safe to say that Bourtol is a marvel of athletic ability, but coming from a curling background in the family, there is no natural path towards understanding that game at such a high level like other recruits may have benefitted from. Although he understands the basics and enough of it to play decent, decent will never be enough if you want to be a champion, if you want to be the best at your position. As such, it’s all about being a student of the game and learning from the best. Bourtol is lucky enough to be able to count on great mentors over in Tijuana, from coaches to management as well as team captains. There is much to be accomplished, but to lift the Ultimini is the greatest task ahead and what he’ll strive to accomplish and work hard from the first day of 2023 until that goal is achieved.
