Building Baseball: Building the Future of the Game Ep: 20-30

What does it take to grow a national game—and protect athletes for the long term?

This week on Krush Performance, I sit down with someone who’s right in the middle of that mission every day. I’m joined by Jason Dickson, CEO of Baseball Canada.

This is a candid, wide-ranging conversation about where baseball is today—and where it’s going next.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The unique role of the Toronto Blue Jays — and how success at the top drives youth participation
• The impact of the World Baseball Classic and the Olympic pathway on global development
• The rise of women’s baseball — and what the future of professional opportunities could look like
• The Jr. National Team and high-performance pipeline — and how Canada is preparing athletes the right way
• Canadian MLB alumni and their role in supporting the next generation
• Coaching education — and how our Creating Coachable Players collaboration fits into the national landscape
• The Road to Okotoks — and what it represents for long-term development
• A rapid-fire take on ABS — and what it could mean for the game

There’s a lot of noise in sport right now.

More games. More travel. More pressure to perform early.

But the real opportunity is understanding how to grow the game
while protecting the athletes inside it.

That’s where this conversation lands.

This episode will give you a clearer picture of what’s working, what’s changing, and what it means for how we coach, support, and develop athletes moving forward.

And if you’re a coach, parent, or leader in the game—there are takeaways here you can apply right away.

BUILDING THE FUTURE OF THE GAME STARTS WITH HOW WE DEVELOP TODAY

Better systems. Better decisions. Better athletes.
