Move the Needle: The Human Performance Podcast

Blake Bender: Coaching as a Skill, Not an Identity


Listen Later

Blake Bender - Lumin Sports - joins us for the 13th episode of MTN. In this episode, we start with a brief conversation about his time at UC Berkeley and before, his approach to training basketball players, and a quick rabbit hole into nutrition. Blake's outlook on the field is unique and we wanted to make sure it was highlighted. We dive into the advice he would give coaches moving into different levels of the profession, the lessons learned from being a part of a staff turnover, and the ensuing process for him of transitioning away from coaching everyday to working for Lumin. We wrap the conversation with the things that he and Lumin have been building towards the excitement they have to continually put actionable data in the hands of coaches and athletes all over the world.
