This week on Krush Performance, it’s episode two of our three-part series on anti-doping and drugs in sport.
Coming off a powerful first episode with Don Hooton, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Taylor Hooton Foundation, whose son Taylor committed suicide at 17 years of age after using steroids, Don and his family have made it a mission to educate & raise awareness so no family will ever have to experience this type of awful tragedy.
This week, we talk with Richard Pound, former President of the World Anti-Doping Agency, about sport on the world stage, the Russian Doping Scandal, and we ask, are we doing enough to uphold the integrity of sport.
For parents, coaches, teachers, and athletes, we look at the numbers:
– Who’s using?
– At what age?
– How much?
– And most importantly….why?

The numbers are scary as hell and we all need to be talking about it!
Also, as the shutdown continues so does our quest to stay sharp until sport returns. We discuss how you can make the most of your downtime by practicing and training with purpose.

Sport has been shut down top to bottom. Frustrated, sad, even mad….it’s okay. We get it. We are right there with you but if you frame this whole thing up properly, what we really have here is a great opportunity. Very much like when our athletes get injured, it is an opportunity to work on things that we might not work on if we were going about our business as usual.
We talk with Kelly Hodgson from United Sport & Cycle about some of the things that you can do in small spaces as we tuck ourselves away in self-isolation.
Also, it’s still spring and with spring comes baseball. Even though baseball is shut down, we talk player and athlete development, maximizing performance, and reducing your risk of injuries with Krush Favorite Jamie Reed, Senior Director Medical Operations for the Texas Rangers.
This is a conversation with implications that go well beyond baseball. Player safety, longevity, and performance is what it is all about and it’s a long game.

What does a rough and tough pro football offensive lineman who breaks down crying in the locker room for no reason and a medical doctor, the head of a University Hospital Emergency Department who had his life stripped away in a single second in time, have in common?
A brain injury.
This week, we get a special look into two totally separate and very different lives that were severely impacted by brain injury.
We will go back and discuss the “second in time” when the injury(s) happened, how it changed their lives, and impacted the people around them.
Today, we are joined by:

• Dave Jamison: TSN Sports Radio Host and Board President of the Edmonton Brain Care Center
A former producer, broadcaster and program director at some of the biggest radio stations on the West Coast and in Edmonton, Dave spent 14 years as the Edmonton Eskimos Director of Marketing, Communications and Broadcast as well as President of the Edmonton Rush.

• Kevin Lefsrud: former Pro Football Offensive lineman.
Ended his career in 2007 after a number of concussions & issues associated with brain injury – today we’ll get an all important retrospective of his injuries and how it has impacted his life after Football.

• Dr. Garnet Cummings: Former head of Emergency at the University of Alberta Hospital, Former Executive Director & Board member for the Brain Care Center.
His life was stolen away in a single second of time. Dr. Cummings shares how he became aware and learned to cope and adjust to his new life after brain injury.

Life may not the same but there is hope that with the love and support of the community and the people close to you, a new and different life emerges, a life brimming with new opportunities, potential and hope.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this episode of Krush Performance possible and to Dave, Kevin and Dr. Cummings for sharing their stories.

Anytime we can reduce risk of injury and improve performance we’re all in. Clearly understanding where you are at, where you need to go, and where you are coming from is critical for performance planning in sport.
Imagine if we could screen our athletes as they move and as they deal with the stresses of their sport. Then, imagine if we could monitor the quality of their movements as they train, compete, and fatigue. Powerful, powerful stuff.
On this week’s show, we talk with Ryan Comeau, CEO and Co-Founder of Kinetisense, about the importance of Athlete Screening as we discuss the Kinetisense advanced 3-D Functional Movement Assessment Technology and how this new age screening is helping us better manage our athletes.
Also, as MLB games get underway down south at spring training, the baseball season approaches all over the country for little league and developmental baseball. We look at what you need to be doing to get ready for your season in order to stay healthy and play at your best.
Finally, our Krush Question of the week: What is your #1 Pump Up Song?
