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.

As always, if you have a topic you would like us to investigate get to us at KrushPerformance.com and, keep yourself on the cutting edge of human performance Subscribe to the Krush podcast and sign up for our weekly Newsletter while you are there.

For athletes, navigating today’s developmental/High Performance pathways is more complicated than ever.

It is mid summer and that means Baseball’s Mid-Summer Classic.

Baseball is a great sport to watch – regardless of what sport you play. There is plenty to learn from watching what is happening in other sports and maybe more so today than at any time in sport.

Times are changing as are the pathways to the elite levels of the game for many reasons.

This week on Krush Performance we talk with Krush Hall of Famer, Greg Hamilton, Head Coach and Director of Men’s teams for Baseball Canada.

Greg has been around the game for years and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the game of baseball and the development of players.

Awarded the Baseball America 2022 Tony Gwynn Award for Lifetime Achievement and Contributions to the Game joining names like Cal Ripken, Jerry Weinstein, Felipe Alou & others.

Early in 2025, Greg was also voted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

We discuss the ever-changing developmental pathways in the game and the new focus on collegiate sport as a major avenue for player development.

We’ll look at the influence of the Olympics and MLB’s World Baseball Classic on awareness and participation in the sport.

We will also discuss the injury issues in the sport and what you need to know as a parent, coach or player who is working to chase down the dream of playing at the next level.

Baseball is a data driven sport there are numbers for every aspect of player performance but what has not changed are the humans who are playing the game.

Understanding the concepts of long-term player & athlete development is more important than ever before and it is a critical component in the process of Creating More Coachable Players.
