For athletes, navigating today’s developmental/High Performance pathways is more complicated than ever.
It is mid summer and that means Baseball’s Mid-Summer Classic.
Baseball is a great sport to watch – regardless of what sport you play. There is plenty to learn from watching what is happening in other sports and maybe more so today than at any time in sport.
Times are changing as are the pathways to the elite levels of the game for many reasons.
This week on Krush Performance we talk with Krush Hall of Famer, Greg Hamilton, Head Coach and Director of Men’s teams for Baseball Canada.
Greg has been around the game for years and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the game of baseball and the development of players.
Awarded the Baseball America 2022 Tony Gwynn Award for Lifetime Achievement and Contributions to the Game joining names like Cal Ripken, Jerry Weinstein, Felipe Alou & others.
Early in 2025, Greg was also voted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
We discuss the ever-changing developmental pathways in the game and the new focus on collegiate sport as a major avenue for player development.
We’ll look at the influence of the Olympics and MLB’s World Baseball Classic on awareness and participation in the sport.
We will also discuss the injury issues in the sport and what you need to know as a parent, coach or player who is working to chase down the dream of playing at the next level.
Baseball is a data driven sport there are numbers for every aspect of player performance but what has not changed are the humans who are playing the game.
Understanding the concepts of long-term player & athlete development is more important than ever before and it is a critical component in the process of Creating More Coachable Players.
