The decision was easy for Curry, an elite level
paintballer, to help a group of scenario players who have
moved into the speedball world, "For the Tippinators to play
the honest, clean paintball they do and have a small amount of success
on the field is great. But if they can hold true to their team
motto and start winning tournaments it will show everyone in
the paintball world the way it should be done." Curry
continued, "the Tipp's have had more success with sponsors
then any other team in the region simply by playing paintball with
heart and honor. Imagine the sponsorship success they will have if
they take their game to the next level, WINNING with honor.
I'd like to help them achieve that."
Curry
currently coaches Moncton - East Coast Shock of the CXBL and
the Halifax Hitmen of the AXBL and he knows what it takes to put a
winning team on the field. With his coaching schedule already
near capacity Curry's reasons for taking on one more coaching
assignment are simple "The greatest reward for me is to turn
guys who love the game into winners." Curry said "To take the
Tippinators passion, guts and raw ability and fine tune them into a
real powerhouse of a team would be a real coup for me personally."
Does Curry plan to become a permanent fixture with
the Tippinators? "I will help the guys as long as they want my
help, continue to take practices seriously, and as long as I
have something to show them that will make them better." Curry says
"Right now things are going great, the guys are giving it their
all and everyone can see the improvements. I'll help out as
long as that continues."
Team Captain Bruce
'Charon' Johnston was impressed by Big Can after only one practice.
"Wow" Johnston says "BC [Big Can] is an amazing coach. He has
the rare ability to adjust his presentation according to who
is listening. He teaches at each player's level, never talks
down to anyone and ensure that every player is learning."
Johnston was excited about what he learned from Curry, "BC told me
all this common sense stuff that I never thought of before. Things
that make you say Doh I shoulda known that, it makes sense."
Johnston continued "I was a 100% better player after spending
only two hours in one practice with BC. I can't wait to see
what I am going to learn from him next."
The
Tippinators renewed commitment to improving in 2007, coupled with the
superb coaching of Kevin 'Big Can' Curry is making every
member of the team look forward, with great anticipation, to
the 2007 paintball season.
