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
