The Talent Equation Podcast

"Why do professional baseball players spend hours hitting balls off tees?" - A conversation with Shaun Larkin


Listen Later

Shaun Larkin is a player development specialist working in professional baseball with the LA Dodgers.
His role involves helping players to enhance their skills and a big part of that role is to challenge coaching practice to maximise the impact that they can have to prepare players for performance.

In this episode we explore:

- How professional baseball recruits and develops talent
- Some of the limitations of the talent development system in baseball
- The crazy competition schedule and the constraints in puts on coaching
- The challenges he faces trying to shift away from 'traditional coaching methods'

Shaun can be found on Twitter at @slarkin04
