What does it take to grow a national game and protect athletes’ long term?

Krush Favorite, Jason Dickson, CEO of Baseball Canada, joins me to break it down—candidly.

We get into the Blue Jays’ unique role as Canada’s team and how their success drives youth registrations, what the WBC and Olympics are really doing for development, the rise of women’s baseball and pro pathways, and how the Jr. National Team and high‑performance pipeline are preparing athletes the right way. We talk Canadian MLB alumni, coaching education, and the road to Okotoks—plus a rapid‑fire on ABS and what it means for the sport.

If you care about smarter coaching, safer development, and where global baseball is headed next, this conversation will give you clarity you can use now. We also share how our Creating Coachable Players collaboration fits into coach education across the country.

Listen in and walk away with a clearer picture of how to develop stronger, healthier, more coachable athletes—at every level.

We break down how Norway and Denmark structure youth sport for broad experiences, later specialization, and higher match quality—then translate it into what you can do this season.
