Krush Performance

The MLB All-Star break marks the midpoint of the most grueling schedule in all of sport.

As the very best players at every level of the Game took to the field to compete in the Commissioners Cup, the Futures Game, the Home Run Derby and the All-Star game itself, we wanted to take a step back and reflect on not only the crazy first half of the 2019 MLB season but baseball as a whole.

Baseball, steeped in tradition and classically very slow to adapt and change is now proving to be a sport leader in a number of areas.

Baseball is:

* Most certainly The Undisputed leader in on-line presence! No other sport comes close.

* Analytics and numbers. No other sport comes close.

* Trending to be a leader in player development – the minor league system sets this up nicely and the baseball world is now gaining momentum in this area.

* Participation: while MLB fan attendance is down there is growing interest in the game globally.

This week on Krush Performance we look at Major League Baseball’s mid-season numbers, consider the second half and we’ll talk player development and injury prevention.

Also, I have another great Krush offer from Rhone, our new go-to men’s clothing brand.

We have been building, creating, and looking for ways to push human performance forward. Faster, higher, stronger, more agile, quickness, technical and tactical – we have this stuff down! We understand this and we now how to make it happen so where do we look for the next great opportunity for pushing human performance forward?

Technology and the mind!

Technology in equipment and apparel, technology in player and athlete tracking but mostly the technology that is now allowing us to tap into and train in real time one of the most powerful tools we have…..the mind.

I’m not just talking psychology here. No…..much, much more than that!

In this episode of Krush Performance, we talk with Danny Dankner, cofounder and CEO of Intelligym, a unique cognitive training program that caught my eye years ago.

Could this be another great athlete development weapon in our arsenal? We think so.

Also, as the NBA landscape sees a MASSIVE shift and free agency in the NHL and NBA rolls on we ask the question: What is the most painful player move of all time?

Have you ever wondered what great players looks like? What makes them tick? What really makes them special?

Well, we wonder this all of the time and as every team works to breakdown and analyze their players and search and identify new upcoming talent, testing becomes a big part of the process but are we collecting the right data and the right information?

Are the tests we are performing at the combines, training camps and talent development programs giving us the right information? Giving us relevant information? Are teams and organizations using the data in the right way?

You may be surprised.

This week, we talk with Joel Jackson, Development Coach and Sport Conditioning Expert at the University of Alberta about his new article, “Making Sense of the NHL Fitness Testing Combine Results.”

We always talk to our athletes about the importance of making yourself special. One sure-fire way to work towards making yourself special and standing out is to take your greatest strength and mastering it. Become one of – if not THE – best at what you are good at and then build around those strengths to take you to new levels of performance.

Join us as we talk testing data in sport this week on Krush Performance.

What do great organizations do that others don’t? What do individual top performers do that others don’t? This week, we find out as we attack the process of building organizational performance.

Stress, pressure, and anxiety are all around us and learning to deal with them is an important skill. We like to get all of our performers to the point where they are making these traditional negatives work to their advantage.

Today on the show, we talk with Dana Santas of Mobility Maker about some of the strategies she uses to help her clients cope and deal with anxiety and stress and we discuss her Mindset Reboot Program. You can have a look at her website Mobilitymaker.com. This program works and you can use it for the rest of time.

Also, as my NHL playoff pool was totally annihilated in the first round of the play-offs, I wanted to dive into one of the most intriguing positions on the ice…goal-tending. We talk with John Stevenson of Zone Performance about the mental game of sport and how you can fine tune it for a position like goal-tending and we discuss his new program: Play Out of Your Mind – for Goalies.

What can we learn from the world’s top performers? Are we doing enough to support our developing athletes? If we look at the upcoming MLB and NBA amateur drafts, the NHL Draft Combine, and the NFL Draft, what can we learn?

* Where do these great young talents come from?

* What did they do to arrive at the very top of the sporting world’s talent pools?

* What can we learn from them and others who managed to navigate their way through the labyrinth of developmental sport?

We discuss these questions and others and you might be surprised at some of the answers.

We do know that where you come from can have a significant influence on your development and for reasons you might not imagine. The path to greatness is as unique as the individual but there are fundamentals that need to be addressed along the way and they can give you a significant advantage.

And, I share with you a rare Krush Rant. We received a great question in the Krush Mailbag and I addressed it on terrestrial radio last week. I wanted to share it with you to see if you agree with me or if you vote me off the island…have a listen and let me know what you think.

What would you say if I said, “We are destroying more Talent than we are creating?” Could it be possible? How do I justify even saying such things??

On this week’s episode of Krush Performance, we take a look at the first month of Major League Baseball and we talk player development, injuries, prevention, and player health with Jamie Reed, Senior Director Medical Operations for the Texas Rangers.

While youth sport is experiencing a disturbing trend in dropout rates, they are at an all-time high in youth sport. The injury rates in the game of baseball are as disturbing from the grassroots game right up to the Big Leagues.

We discuss the injury trends in baseball, why they are happening, and what you can do to protect yourself and your players:

* What are the top priorities in staying healthy?

* Why Specialization in Baseball is a VERY risky move.

* We’ll look at new Turf Technology and we discuss:

Could where you live impact your development and your risk of injury?

This week on Krush Performance, we take a look at the NFL Draft and discuss why we feel it’s way too early to look at the hits and misses. It’s time for this new talent pool to go out and prove themselves worthy of an NFL roster.

Also, we ask the question, who is the best Multi Sport Athlete of all Time?

Finally we’ll also discuss new innovations in sporting equipment as we record this week’s episode of Krush Performance live from the Grand Opening of United Sport And Cycle’s first community store.
