You are what you eat!
I remember well the echoes of my Mother’s wisdom and she was right on the mark for the most part.
Nutrition is one of the top priorities for maximizing human performance and potential. It can be as complicated or as simple as you would like to make it but in the end if you don’t have the basics right you are fighting an up hill battle.
Nutrition is a bedrock of human performance and in this episode of Krush Performance we talk with performance dietitian Ricky Ng of Revive Wellness about the ins and outs of your diet.
We look at the basics you need to know about and some of the high performance feeding strategies that can help take your performance to new levels.
Also, we discuss diet for body composition, how the region you live in and your cultural heritage impacts how and what you eat, and we discuss supplements and how they fit into the big picture of performance nutrition.

It is very rare to get a glimpse into the making of a true performance culture but that is exactly what we do in this episode of Krush Performance.
As Major League Baseball Winter Meetings get underway, we take a look at how the game of baseball has changed so much so quickly and how these rapid changes are influencing player preparation and organizational strategies. We get a very rare and special glimpse into the creation of a high performance culture as we talk with the new Manager of the Texas Rangers, Chris Woodward. We ask Chris about the state of the game, his new managerial position, and how Texas is positioning itself to be a perennial contender for post season success.
The game of baseball is healthy all over the globe, thanks to a little help. We talk to our good friend Pete Caliendo, Vice President for the International Sports Group, about coaching development, the global game, and what the Olympics mean for international baseball.

This week, I dip into the Krush Mailbag to answer some questions from our listeners and I pose a few questions of my own. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been asked why I watch and follow certain pro teams and players? I lay it all out today.
Also, I just got back from speaking at a coaching and player development clinic and I want to talk about some of the hot topics that came up regarding youth sport and development. I discuss why early specialization in sport is such a dangerous game to play as well as the great Time article, “How Kids Sport Became a $15 Billion Industry.”
Question of the day:
‘What is the most important factor in Maximizing Sport Outcomes?’

• Physical Preparation – S&C Therapy
• Competitive Experience
• Sleep and Rest
• Practice and Coaching
• Nutrition and Hydration
• Mental Preparedness

Solutions! We want solutions!
In the Krush Performance’s War on Sugar, we have spent the last few years digging deep to clearly define the problems and issues we are facing when it comes to not only sugar consumption but our eating habits as a whole.
In this episode, I want to start talking solutions! What can we do to make better choices and what might those choices be?
This week, we are joined by Alan Frost, founder and CEO of Flavanaturals, a company with a very interesting twist on chocolate and the powerful cocoa flavanols that have been shown to have some serious health benefits. We’ll discuss some of the important basics in performance eating. There are tricks to this trade-craft and you can get in on the action right now!!

What can you to do to get better? Better at your job, better at your sport, your music, your hobby?
Better at anything? As a parent, teacher or coach, what do you need to know to set the stage so your students, athletes, and children can take a good run at chasing down their dreams?
The top organizations scour the landscape looking for new ideas and strategies for improving performance leaving no stone unturned and you should as well.
Some of the most important research on the development of talent and skill comes out of the Music world.
In this episode of Krush Performance, we are joined live in studio with the founding member’s one of my favorite bands, The Whale and the Wolf.
Ryan Maier (lead vocals), Brandon Yaggey (guitar), Lucas Holt (bassist) join us to talk about their development and their commitment to their music and we discuss what size of community produces the most top performers. Also, we discuss what makes a great performer great (the secret of practice – the right kind of practice!), and in the early 60’s, before they were a world wide sensation, the Beatles did something extraordinary and it may very well be THE reason for their success!!
It has been said that Luciano Pavarotti, one of the greatest opera singers of all time, once proclaimed, “If I don’t practice for a day, I know it. If I don’t practice for 2 days, my wife knows it. If I don’t practice for three days, the world knows it!”
What secrets can we learn from top performers in music and how can it help you get better at whatever it is you love to do?

In this ever changing world of technology and information, we are experiencing drastic changes in the demands for talent and skills, how we develop them, and where they are now needed. As we continue to expand our understanding of Human Development and Human Performance, we not only have to react to the shifting demands for specific skills and talents, we also now need to adjust how we are developing future talent to meet the new demands. We’ve already begun with new exciting approaches and there are more to come as knowledge and technology continue to push the human performance envelope.
This week on Krush Performance, we talk with Geoff Colvin, Sr. Editor at Large for Fortune Magazine and bestselling author of “Talent is Overrated” and “Humans are Underrated”, to discuss the deep questions of:
 What talents and skills you need to develop for this new age?
 And, What does talent and skill development look like as we move forward?
Join us as we look at the future of Human Performance in this week’s episode of Krush Performance!
