How Good Can Your Athlete Become? Ep 21-01

Sport Parents. Sport Coaches. This Season Is for You.

How good can your athlete become?
It’s one of the most important questions we can ask in sport.

And the answer?
We don’t know.

We won’t know until they go through the process of Athlete & Player Development.

• Practices.
• Games.
• Training.
• The successes.
• The failures
• The opportunities.

And the decisions made along the way.
And those decisions matter.

Coaches create the environments. Parents help choose the environments.
Together, they have an enormous influence on an athlete’s development.

Welcome to Season 21 of Krush Performance!

This season, we’re turning our attention to the people making those important decisions — Sport Parents and Sport Coaches.

Sport has never offered more opportunities, more programs, more training, more competition, more technology, and more information than ever before.
But with all these opportunities comes an important challenge.

How do you know what’s right for your athlete?
What do they really need?
When do they need it?
How much is enough?
And how do those answers change as they grow and develop?

Throughout Season 21, we’ll explore the science and real-world realities of Athlete & Player Development — from sleep, recovery, nutrition, and brain development to talent, specialization, training, readiness, and the environments that shape performance.

We’ll bring you leading researchers, experts, and thought-provoking conversations to help separate evidence from noise and turn complicated science into practical knowledge.

Because the challenge isn’t simply finding opportunities anymore.
It’s knowing which opportunities matter.

And while we may not know how good an athlete can become, we can work incredibly hard to give them the opportunity to find out.
