It was inevitable that our 2021 themes, talent, talent identification, and The Krush Brain Game, are on course to collide head on as we wrap up this year on Krush Performance. These three areas are connected in so many ways and as we work to connect all of the dots, we need to get to the very source of athlete development and player performance, our coaches.
I go Down Under to visit once again with Dr. Alex Roberts from the Department of Sports Coaching and Development at the School of Allied Health, Human Services and Sport at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. He has done extensive work looking at coaching bias and how, as coaches, we tend to select athletes not based on talent, skill, or dedication but rather on how an athlete might fit into our personal coaching style. We will discuss the art of athlete selection, how we must address the unique needs of athletes at different levels of development, look at the important difference between forecasting talent and selecting talent, and pose the hypothetical question, “What if we had a talent identification system for coaches?”

Is it possible that our kids are spending less time outside than prison inmates? The answer to this will alarm you!
The area in which we play and roam is shrinking by the year and for our kids, it could very well be restricting their development. The environment and the influence it will have on your growth and development may be more powerful than we realize. If so, then how does a lack of free play and a shrinking general radius of play impact our ability to learn, adapt, and function in sport and in the real world of life?

It’s an important topic that gets very little consideration. With the greatest of intentions are we hindering the development of our youth, our athletes, and ourselves?
This week on Krush Performance, we talk with Stewart Armstrong, Skill Acquisition and Talent Development Expert and host of The Talent Equation Podcast, to discuss athlete development, coaching, and why it is so critical to just let our kids play.

When it comes to who you are, how you act and how you respond to your environment everything goes to mission control…your brain.
Your brain is an incredible organ; it is a learning machine! It is literally structured and wired to learn. While the wiring of the brain really does shape who you are your environment, the people around you and the influences we experience shape that wiring.
It’s a never-ending loop of development and we are going to do our best to map it all out with Dr. Kevin Mitchell, Associate Professor of Genetics and Neuroscience at Trinity College in Dublin.
We connect the dots and wrap up our three main themes of 2021 – talent, talent identification, & The Krush Brain Game.

In the world of athlete development and player performance, it is critical that we have things in context especially when it comes to talent development, talent identification, and the Krush Brain Game.
I’m joined by Dr. Richard Harvey of San Francisco State University to discuss training the brain and the psychology of resilience, courage, and hardiness. Which is reactive? Which is proactive? Do we truly understand what these important concepts are all about?
We find out on this week’s episode of Krush Performance as we connect the dots and wrap up our three main themes for this year, talent, talent identification, and The Krush Brain Game.

I take an incredible look into how we learn, coach, and manipulate our environments to get incredible results in development and in performance. As 2021 comes to a close, we are connecting the dots between our three main themes for this year – talent, talent ID, and The Krush Brain Game.

I am joined by Dr. Rob Grey, Associate Professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University and host of The Perception and Action Podcast. We discuss perception, the influence of our environments, and how they relate to how we learn, design, and implement coaching strategies for top development and performance.

Through November and December, we are wrapping up and ‘connecting the dots’ between our 2021 themes Talent and Talent ID and The Krush Brain Game.

Decreasing injury. Maximizing performance. Increasing your opportunities. This is what the off season is all about.
I’m joined by Mike Johnson, former Major League pitcher and Founder of the 5 Tool Fieldhouse, to discuss what you need to be thinking about this off season.

We’ll talk about the importance of establishing the fundamentals for continued future development, how to balance intensity and volume and the scary downside of velocity throwing programs.

How did 19,000 students in Illinois become some of the fittest and smartest students in the United States and in the World? This week on Krush Performance, we look at some incredible PE teachers who started a program called “Zero Hour PE.”
As well, we get to some of the very important questions coming into the Krush Mailbag. What factors that are influencing our kids’ decisions to play or not to play an organized sport. We also discuss the area in which our kids play & roam has been shrinking generation to generation.
How much area do we allow our kids to cover? It’s brutally tiny. How much has this changed the fitness, health, and learning ability of our kids?

Is the food you are eating hijacking your brain function, brain performance, and perhaps even your brain health? This week, we break down the latest research as we dislodge profit-driven data and layout how the food you eat really works once it gets in your body.

I’m joined by Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, Chief of Biomedical Research at the Glycemic Research Institute, as we share our approach – not to eliminate foods from your diet but to FIX THEM! We’ll start to explain how we have worked to break the code to understand the Burn Rate, brain energetics, fuel partitioning, and the metabolic index. We will answer some of the fantastic nutrition and SOS questions sent in by you, our audience.
Join us as we work towards solutions. It’s neuroscience, physiology, psychology, and it’s evolutionary. Let’s get our food chain and our bodies back in synch.

Keep the questions coming! Get to us info@krushperformance.com.

In the ebb and flow of sport, teams rise, teams fall, and then there are those who constantly perform. This week, we break down the teams, players, and storylines we are following in the NHL and NBA as we look to better understand what it really takes to put together a championship team.
I’m joined by Krush favorite, Allan Mitchell aka. Lowetide, columnist for “The Athletic” and host of the Lowdown on the TSN Sports Radio Network.
On the doorstep of opening day for both leagues, we not only break down what we are watching and why but we go out on a limb and make our picks for who will be the NHL’s Stanley Cup Champions and which team will be crowned the top team in the NBA.

This Week on Krush Performance, we’re talking injuries, back pain, and pain management. Injuries are one of the top reasons that athletes drop out of sport and back pain is one of the most common medical conditions with 80% of adults experiencing it during their lifetimes.
Back pain is the sixth most costly condition in the United States and low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide.
These are huge issues in sport and life. Why then aren’t we doing a better job of attacking these issues?

Today, we get some answers from Dr. Darren Gray from Health Pointe Medical Centers, who talks about:

• Acute & Chronic Pain
• Pain Management
• The use of Pain Killers & Medicines
Getting you back to doing the things you love to do.
