Krush Performance

No collective bargaining agreement has been reached in Major League Baseball. How does this impact the players who now have to standby and wait for a reporting date?

You’ve heard of load management, athlete management, maybe workload and tapering, what really goes into balancing athlete and player development and performance, but you might be surprised at how simple it can actually be.

In sport, we are at the mercy of the competitive schedule, but could we be doing a better job? The NBA will tell us all we need to know. If you like to gamble or pick the winners, you REALLY need to hear this!

Also, we look at managing athletes and players on this week’s episode of Krush Performance.

Finally, we have a fantastic deal for you from our good friends at Athletic Greens. They are hooking up friends of the Krush Performance Podcast.

We love the Olympics but are they worth it? We look at the cost of hosting the games and we break down the final medal count for Beijing.

We’ve had some great questions and comments regarding our 2022 theme of “Organizational and Team Performance.” Everyone has been part of a team or organization at some point and I want to set up that conversation.

Also, straight out of the Krush Mailbag, a message caught me a little off-guard and I want to address it. It simply said, “Krush, why the athlete first? How is it better than just getting out and playing?”

It’s a really good question and we break it all down on this week’s episode of Krush Performance.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

This Benjamin Franklin quote is as true today as it was in 1736 when he first said it, especially if you’re an athlete.

This week on Krush Performance, we will talk with Tahisha Nadiue of Advantage Sport Medicine Physiotherapy. We’ll discuss how getting regular checkups can help you not only prevent injuries but help you perform at the top of your game.

Also, we’ll look at the latest doping scandal that is casting a shadow over the Winter Olympics and what it means for sports, break down the NFL’s Super Bowl and Odell Beckham’s non-contact knee injury that has sparked a heated discussion as to whether we should be using real grass or turf in sport. Most players prefer grass and they are letting people know with the #FlipTheTurf Campaign.

Over the ages, the concept of “Tribe” and “Community” has been etched into our DNA. We just are not complete as individuals. We are, however, completed by the people who are around us. Personally, and professionally, we need other people to make us whole.

The trick is getting the right people.

The idea of team chemistry has been considered elusive and undefinable but when you take a closer look, it is critical to team and organizational performance and this is exactly what we are about to do.

On this week’s episode of Krush Performance, we begin our deep dive into our 2022 Theme: Organizational and Team Performance.

I cannot think of a better way to kick it all off than a conversation with Joan Ryan, acclaimed journalist and author of 5 books including, “Intangibles: Unlocking The Science And Soul Of Team Chemistry”.

Get set as we work to crack the code on organizational and team performance and the elusive concept of “Team Culture” is a perfect place to start.

“Culture trumps strategy every time.”

The post Krush Performance: Krush 2022 – Organizational & Team Performance appeared first on Radio Influence.

The human brain is a universe of its very own and we are just beginning to understand how vast and complex it really is. Your brain is a virtual learning machine and over the last 10 years, there have been some incredible advancements in our understanding of how it all works.

One of the fastest-growing areas is in the technology that is now allowing us to map, monitor, and train the brain in real-time – things that we have NEVER been able to do until now. We are on the cusp of a new age in human performance, and it revolves around our new understanding of the brain.

The Krush Brain Game was one of our major themes for 2021 and this week, we are putting the bookends on our series with Krush Hall of Famer, Dr. Martin Mrazik, Clinical Neuropsychologist from the University of Alberta.

After this incredible season of talking with some of the top people in the world, we have declared “The Brain” and all that it entails as one of the Krush Top 5 Priorities in Human Performance.

In the past, we have been very reactive when it comes to “brain performance’ but it is now perfectly clear that we must access and address brain performance right from the get-go.

While we wrap up our Brain Game series, there is so much more we need to uncover and discuss. We set the stage for this on this week’s final episode of our 2021 Krush Brain Game Series.

The post Krush Performance: The Krush Brain Game 2021 Wrap Up appeared first on Radio Influence.

Do we really understand what talent is and are we approaching talent development in the best way? What if my answer to both questions is a flat-out NO. We do not really understand talent and we are horrible when it comes to talent Identification.

We spent a good part of 2021 digging into Talent and Talent ID talking with some of the best people in the world. This week, we wrap it all up with Krush Hall of Famer, Dr. Joe Baker, Sport Science Researcher from York University.

One thing that has become clear over this last year, we need to better understand what exactly talent is. Could it be a moving target as it’s constantly changing as an athlete progresses and moves through a developmental system? There is an important difference between skill and talent and how we address these within our programming and organizations.

This week we review all of the incredible conversations we had over this last season, and we break down where we are at in our understanding of talent and talent identification. We have a lot of work to do, last year has given us some serious direction and this week we sum it all up, connect the dots and discuss where we need to go next.

Could it be we need to eliminate “talent” from the conversation altogether?

Find out this week as we wrap up our conversation on Talent and Talent ID.

The post Krush Performance: Attacking The New Year Krush Style appeared first on Radio Influence.

It was inevitable that our 2021 themes, talent, talent identification, and The Krush Brain Game, are on course to collide head on as we wrap up this year on Krush Performance.

These three areas are connected in so many ways and as we work to connect all of the dots, we need to get to the very source of athlete development and player performance, our coaches.

This week on Krush Performance, we go Down Under to visit once again with Dr. Alex Roberts from the Department of Sports Coaching and Development at the School of Allied Health, Human Services and Sport at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.

He has done extensive work looking at coaching bias and how, as coaches, we tend to select athletes not based on talent, skill, or dedication but rather on how an athlete might fit into our personal coaching style.

We will discuss the art of athlete selection, how we must address the unique needs of athletes at different levels of development, look at the important difference between forecasting talent and selecting talent, and pose the hypothetical question, “What if we had a talent identification system for coaches?”
