Krush Performance

This week we take a serious look at our number one performance priority: Sleep. Are you getting enough sleep? How much sleep is enough sleep?

We talk with Krush favorite, Dr. Charles Samuels from the Center for Sleep & Human Performance. Get locked in as we discuss sleep strategies, sleep science and we look at the pros and cons of the sleep wearables, are they giving you the information you need? Also, we’ll take a very serious look at over-the-counter sleep aids, we fear that they greatly misunderstood and are being misused at an alarming rate.

Then, we look at sleep technology from another angle. Considering the amount of time we spend sleeping or resting in bed, we might as well be as comfortable as possible.

Question: Do you have the right mattress?

We talk with the Founder and CEO of Goodmorning.com, Sam Prochazka. We look at the very latest mattress technology, the new and innovative options that are now available and what you need to consider to find the right mattress for you. Choosing the right mattress is very specific to the individual we’ll help you get it right.

Let’s set you up for a good night’s sleep on this week’s episode of Krush Performance.

You are getting sleepy…..very, very sleepy.

Our understanding of talent is still in its infancy. Heck, we can’t even agree on a working definition of talent. Talent, talent development, and talent ID make up one of our main themes for 2021 and today, we kick it off with Krush Favorite, Dr. Joe Baker, Sport Science Researcher from York University.

When we consider Talent, there are so many components involved that it can seem overwhelming. There are well-defined components of talent like:

• The influence of genetics

The list goes on and on and on.

We are taking 2021 to dissect talent, to take it apart, lay it all out, put it back together, and make some sense of it so we can move forward with purpose, understanding, and direction. No matter if you are in grassroots development or performing at the top of the world stage, we simply ask:

“How do we make you better?”

Get set everyone. It is going to be a fantastic year here at Krush Performance and we kick it off our look into the world of talent right now.

Happy New Year, everyone. Let’s get set to attack 2021 with a vengeance. This year, we have two major themes here at Krush Performance: The Brain Game and Talent.

They are both HUGE areas to break down and address so we will be spending this entire year talking to some of the world’s top minds, researchers, coaches, performance directors, doctors, athletes, and many more as we work to keep you on the cutting edge and performing at your very best.

Today, to kick off our assault on 2021, we talk with Krush Hall of Famer, The Coach of Champions, Jim Fannin.

Coming off one of the most challenging times in recent history (Coronavirus 19), it’s time to get set up for your best year ever.

“The person with the most constants in a world of variables will prevail.”

Never in human history have we experienced more variables, unforeseen, uncontrollable, and sometimes unmanageable variables than we have seen over this last year.

We talk about the 5 markers that you can control to get control and set yourself up for success.

How do you Feed The Champion? Find out this week as we kick off Krush Performance 2021 with our good friend, Jim Fannin.

The post Krush Performance: Feed The Champion – Attacking 2021 appeared first on Radio Influence.

We are BIG fans of thinking BIG, Dreaming BIG! While it can be easy to underestimate your potential, there are strategies you can use to get on track and move forward with focus and confidence to “Unlimit Your Potential.” On this week’s episode of Krush Performance, get set for an inspirational and timely conversation with high-performance mental coach, Seth Pepper.

We discuss Seth’s incredible story of how he came from a small town to enter a sport he had little experience in to become one of the world’s top athletes. Now, Seth coaches athletes, performers, organizations, teams, and businesses in harnessing the power of the mental game to attack adversity and raise performance to new levels.

I cannot imagine a better conversation to have right now as we wrap up 2020 and head into the holidays and the New Year. This is a show to share with everyone you know.

Happy Holidays, everyone. Get out there, have some fun, stay safe, and let’s go get better.

The post Krush Performance: Unlimit Your Potential appeared first on Radio Influence.

Are you in control of your thoughts or do your thoughts control you? In these challenging times, it is extremely easy to slip into a negative thought pattern, it’s hard not to. However, there are strategies you can use to get control your thoughts and your actions.

Being aware is step number one.

Number two is taking action, understand what you control, what is out of your control, and then work to control the controllables.

We talk with sport psychology specialist, John Stevenson of Zone Performance, about some of the strategies he is using with his clients and professional athletes to not just get through these tough times but to totally kick ass and take advantage of the opportunities they present.

“We don’t control the uncontrollables but we definitely have control over how we choose to respond to those uncontrollables.”

“Mental toughness is what you choose to focus on!!”

Plus, we kick off the show with a rundown of the Krush Things to watch as we set up the NBA season and we kick off our top ten gift ideas for the athlete this holiday season.

We are living through an incredible time as life and sport are still greatly on hold due to COVID safety concerns. For us, there is only one thing to do, forge forward with purpose, determination, and with the future in mind.

On this week’s episode, we talk with Krush favorite Manny Schmidt, NHLPA Certified Player Agent & Founder and CEO of Link Management. We discuss powerful strategies for improving your outlook, performance, and your potential during the COVID downtime. This is a unique opportunity to really set yourself apart we’ll tell you how.

We’ll talk NHL and the annual World Junior Hockey Championships, which are getting set to happen over the Christmas and the New Year’s break. The tournament is a holiday tradition for many but this year, there is much more at stake than just a championship. This may be the largest international competition on the COVID calendar. Everyone will be watching to see how it rolls out as there will be implications for all other sports and most certainly the Olympics.

Has 2020 been a year of learning? Virtual learning has allowed a sharing of knowledge that we have not previously experienced. For the performance world: athletes, coaches, parents and administrators in both sport and business there is one more great opportunity coming up that you DO NOT WANT TO MISS.

We talk with Andre Lachance, organizer, and host of #TIMEOUT 2020 on December 12th. This free performance seminar will focus on The Coach, The Mindset, and The Culture with a world class line of speakers headlined by Joe Torre, who will be speaking on “Ground Rules for Success.”

The post Krush Performance: Krushing It During COVID appeared first on Radio Influence.

The Krush War On Sugar rages on! We want to reset and get a clear idea of where we are really at in terms of the landscape when it comes to sugar, our diet, and our state of health. There is a missing link when it comes to our understanding of how the foods and fuel we consume really react with our bodies. Once it goes in, what really happens? Could this be where we are really missing the boat not just for our health but also for our performance?

This week, we try to clear the air because what we have been doing up to now has NOT been working! Obesity, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and all of the health issues associated with these conditions continue to rise.

For our athletes and their performance, there are exciting new breakthroughs that may allow our athletes to achieve at a higher level each and every day.

Let’s turn the page and enter the new era of human performance and health when it comes to the food we eat and our understanding of how it reacts and interacts with our bodies with Krush Hall of Famer Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, Chief of Biomedical Research at the Glycemic Research Institute, Washington DC.

We discuss:

• Brain energetics

Be sure to reach out! We look forward to your questions, comments, and smart-ass remarks.

Please share the show and join our quest to better understand what it truly takes to achieve human maximum performance.

The post Krush Performance: The Future Of Health & Performance w/Dr. Ann de Wees Allen appeared first on Radio Influence.

Could there be a massive downside to big data, analytics, and statistics? The numbers are impacting the sports we love and perhaps not for the better. They are impacting not only how we play sports but how we are developing athletes.

Today, we look at some of the storylines coming out of Major League Baseball:

We also dive into international sport as the World Junior Hockey Championships get set to kick off in Edmonton. Could there be implications for the 2021 Olympic Games here?

We’ll take a look at the Krush NFL Teams to watch this year. How are they rating and are there any surprises as we head into the Thanksgiving weekend?

Finally, we share the results of our Brain Game audience Poll. We asked should “The Brain” be one of the top priorities for setting our athletes up for future success? The Results are not what I thought they would be.

It’s a jam-packed Thanksgiving Episode of Krush Performance.

The Krush Brain Game continues as we talk with Dr. Leah Lagos, Clinical Psychologist specializing in both Clinical and Sport Psychology. Dr. Lagos is board certified in biofeedback and has done pioneering work in Heart Rate Variability biofeedback with a special focus on recovery and healing from concussions.

This week, we talk about how you can deal with anxiety, build resilience to adversity, and learn how to self-regulate and pivot your emotions to improve mental agility, focus, and physical performance.

Could we be entering a new age in sport psychology?

Psychophysiology may be the new approach for helping people perform better, feel better, and recover better in sport and in life.

This week, the Krush War On Sugar rages on with a vengeance! Now, more than ever, we need to address the growing rates of obesity and overweight and all the health risks associated with them.

This newfound urgency is largely driven by research associated with the COVID pandemic. Research indicates people who are overweight, obese, or have one or more preventable chronic diseases are more susceptible to the deadly effects of COVID infection.

Also:

On this episode of the Krush Performance War On Sugar, we talk with Gary Taubes, investigative science and health journalist, speaker, and author.

You may know Gary from his many published articles, his appearances on network newscasts or his contributions to the powerful Krush must-watch documentaries, “Fat” and “Sugar Coated.” Gary has followed the sugar industry and the impact sugar has had on our health for decades. His perspective and knowledge are a critical piece for understanding the true issues surrounding sugar in our diets.

Knowledge is POWER – Action is POWERFUL

Get set for one of the most important episodes of the Krush War On Sugar to date as we look at the history of the sugar industry and how we have arrived at this tipping point in human health.

It’s time to act. Save your health. Save your children’s health and for our athletes save your performance.
