I'm Jeff Krushell
Sports Science & Athlete/Player Development Specialist
Over the years I have been asked by parents and coaches to put together a resource that can help guide you through the chaos and confusion of athlete and player development.
It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the options now available in the sporting world. Should your athlete be in winter, spring or summer camps? Should they travel for training for showcases or to get more games in? Is there such a thing as too much training or competing? Private lessons, academies, club teams, conditioning and on and on and on...
We know you have your athlete's best interests in mind but the questions keep piling up... So what should you do?
Maximizing human performance in elite sport is my passion. I have been guiding teams, organizations and high-performance athletes from amateurs to the professionals for over 30 years.
I've been very lucky to have worked in virtually all the major sports and then some from baseball, football, hockey and the NHL to squash, tennis, figure skating, volleyball, skiing, curling and others.
My career in high performance sport has allowed me to travel across the globe to work with athletes, coaches and organizations in Europe, Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Nicaragua, Curacao, Puerto Rico, New Zealand, the USA and coast to coast in Canada. I am excited to pass along the knowledge I have gained to better sport, help parents, coaches and of course the athletes.
Parents, I hope you will join me at "The Parent's Playbook" The Essential Guide to Success in Sport.
We will look at the latest information, science and research to help shine some light on the major issues coming from the ever changing and evolving world of sport and athlete & player development.
