Talent, our understanding of talent and how we apply it within the developmental pathways, from grassroots right up to our professional, both compels and limits athletic achievement.

Would we be better off ignoring talent all together?

This week, we wrap up our year long investigation into the incredible complexity of talent development and talent ID in sport with Krush Hall of Famer, Sport Scientist, Dr. Joe Baker.

How do genetics and environment influence what we become…how good we become, and I ask the question: “Is Talent Real?”

If we can get a clear idea of what talent really is, can we get better at developing talent and identifying future potential? Collectively, we are not all that good at predicting future talent and potential.

Could it be we looking at the wrong factors? The wrong variables? Is predicting talent simply too complex and unpredictable to be predictable?

What are the limitations involved in Early Specialization into a single sport & how can you overcome and/or manage the variables involved?

We find out as we discuss all of this and more on this week’s jam-packed episode of Krush Performance.
