In this episode of the Performance Matters Podcast, Coach Tanner Care breaks down what actually drives performance — and why chasing outputs has quietly become a problem in modern coaching.

We talk about how the definition of performance has expanded beyond numbers on a force plate, why jump height alone tells a painfully incomplete story, and how input-based training creates more durable, adaptable athletes — especially in-season.

This conversation hits on communication, role clarity within performance teams, youth development mistakes that lead to injury, and the ego traps that kill collaboration in high-performance environments.

Metrics still matter.
They just aren’t the coach.

🎧 Inside the episode:

• Why great coaching starts with communication, not dashboards

• The shift from output-based to input-based training

• What jump data misses — and what to look at instead

• How to train in-season without frying athletes

• Why youth sport priorities are backwards

• How ego quietly sabotages high-performance teams

• Why learning never stops if you want longevity in this field

Better inputs. Better decisions. Better performance.
