Earlier this year, Gushue was appointed as USA Curling’s high-performance director. Next month, he embarks on a book tour to promote his memoir, \"Gushue: The Making of a Champion,\" which will be released on November 3. Additionally, he has been named a television analyst for the Grand Slam of Curling. Gushue, a six-time Brier champion and Olympic gold medalist, oversees national team operations, athlete development, and high-performance strategy for the curling federation.
