Creating Coachable Players with Dave Turgeon
An undefeated season at any level of sport is a truly incredible feat.
It takes planning. It takes discipline. It takes Guts and make NO Mistake …
It will take “ALL OF ALL OF US!”
This week on Krush Performance, we continue our Creating Coachable Players series.
Athletes: You need to understand what being coachable is all about, what it looks like, what it feels like, what is sounds like. We lay it out for you here.
Coaches: We all need to understand that helping your athletes and players to be coachable is as important as any drill, exercise, or technique you will ever coach. We don’t typically coach this stuff, but it needs to be everywhere in sport. We talk about how you can work this into your programs.
Parents: You must understand all of this so you can help guide your athlete through the chaotic world of athlete and player development.
This week, a very special conversation with all time Krush Favorite Dave Turgeon: Head Coach For IMG’s National Baseball Team who just wrapped up an incredible 25-0 season! Dave came up in the New York Yankees system, played overseas and spent 11 years managing and being the Coordinator of Instruction for the Pittsburgh Pirates Organization. Here, he not only coached the players, but he coached the coaches… a very cool position in sport.
Today, we are going to tap into his knowledge and his approach for player development and player learning and you’ll get an idea of what it takes to go undefeated in a season.
It is one thing to run a great technical and tactical program addressing the skills and physical side of development. But it’s a very different and special thing to run a true athlete and player development program where you address the physical side, the mental side and the emotional side of development and performance.
This is how championships are won.
This is how champions are made.
And, this is exactly what we cover on this week’s Creating Coachable Players episode of Krush Performance.
PS. Have your notebooks ready – this one is a treasure trove of information.
