About this listen

 Summary In this episode, Jim Beebe and Jeff Osaded discuss the intricacies of athletic training and development, particularly in the context of Canadian sports. They delve into the importance of youth development, the impact of the Olympics on local sports culture, and the evolution of training methodologies over the years. Jeff shares his extensive experience working with various athletes, including MLB player Mike Soroka, and emphasizes the significance of building a strong foundation in training, nutrition, and recovery. The conversation also touches on the cultural aspects of sports in Canada, particularly hockey, and how the environment shapes athletes' experiences and performance. Takeaways "One workout doesn't make a season, but one workout can ruin a season." "Doing the basics savagely well is crucial for success." "Attendance is the number one thing we track that tells us whether an athlete is going to be really good." "You can't just pick the most talented; you have to optimize whatever kid walks through the door." "The best athletes are those who can adapt and endure the most." "It's not about how hard you train, it's about how hard you can train, recover, and train hard again." "The environment molds the culture and the athletes that come out of it." "You need to build a habit-forming culture within your training environment."
