Keep It Real #33: Pro Baseball & Thrower's Considerations

The Resilient Performance Podcast was born to interview thought leaders from a variety of disciplines (including medicine, fitness, military and law enforcement, academia, music, theater, sports, and exploration) to gain insight into how to systematically optimize performance at the individual and organizational level. This will not be a niche podcast that promotes specialization and professional identity politics. Instead, it will espouse global thinking and professional and academic integration.

With David Epstein as the first guest on the podcast, Doug came out of the gates swinging, demonstrating he was going to bring something different to the nearly saturated field of physical therapy and performance podcasts. Being both a S&amp;C coach and a PT, along with his military background, Doug brings a unique perspective to challenging issues not only in the application of healthcare but with  healthcare policy as well. Doug is a great interviewer and it is clear he’s done his homework on the guests he brings on and the issues that are discussed. His is a welcome perspective and voice in our profession.

Great interviews with unique perspectives

James Smith

James Smith is the founder of Global Sport Concepts, which began in 2013 in order to serve as an educational resource for sport and military professionals. The directive from the very beginning was to serve as a unifying agent for change given the Balkanized nature of specialty fields and the vast differential that exists between what is currently happening and what is possible in the education of coaches and military leadership, the people who hire/promote those individuals, and the people who hire/promote the people who hire/promote those individuals...  Topics Covered:  Reductionism/complexity, arbitrary boundaries between professions: what cultural dysfunctions exist in sport, how should we reframe sport/coaching? What knowledge (the parts) is required to be a successful “coach”? Apprenticeship model/who is the arbiter of knowledge?  What if the mentor possesses relevant knowledge? Knowledge vs. application/behavioral change.  Is rational thought and logic enough? How do we determine where to draw boundaries? Where boundaries must exist, how can organizations communicate seamlessly and without being undermined by ego and politics?  How do we avoid redundancy if everybody is a generalist? Emotional control/drawbacks of authoritative leadership When/If to intervene in elite performers who display mechanical inefficiencies Military SOF selection: can it be done better despite the logistical and economic constraints

Russ Roberts

Dr. Russ Roberts is the John and Jean De Nault Research Fellow at Standford University's Hoover Institution.  Roberts hosts the weekly podcast EconTalk--hour-long conversations with authors, and thought leaders in economics and beyond. Past guest include Milton Friedman, Thomas Piketty, Nassim Taleb, Michael Lewis, Christopher Hitchens and Marc Andreessen. Over 570 episodes are available at EconTalk.org and on iTunes at no charge.  His latest project is "It's a Wonderful Loaf," an animated poem about emergent order and markets. His two rap videos on the ideas of John Maynard Keynes and F.A. Hayek, created with filmmaker John Papola, have had more than nine million views on YouTube, been subtitled in eleven languages, and are used in high school and college classrooms around the world.  His latest book is How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life: An Unexpected Guide to Human Nature and Happiness (Portfolio/Penguin 2014). It takes the lessons from Adam Smith's little-known masterpiece, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and applies them to modern life.  He is also the author of three economic novels teaching economic lessons and ideas through fiction. The Price of Everything: A Parable of Possibility and Prosperity (Princeton University Press, 2008) tells the story of wealth creation and the unseen forces around us creating and sustaining economic opportunity. The Invisible Heart: An Economic Romance (MIT Press, 2002) looks at corporate responsibility and a wide array of policy issues including anti-poverty programs, consumer protection, and the morality of the marketplace. His first book, The Choice: A Fable of Free Trade and Protectionism (Prentice Hall, 3rd edition, 2006) is on international trade policy and the human consequences of international trade. It was named one of the top ten books of 1994 by Business Week and one of the best books of 1994 by the Financial Times.  Topics Covered:  The impetus for writing “What Do Economists Actually Know”  Can we study economic policies in a way that controls for contextual factors or “noise”?  Does the quantitative nature of economics trick us into thinking a particular policy is more concrete than it actually is? How difficult is it for voters to assess a political candidate’s economic aptitude when all we get during debates are soundbites?  Even if a policy does “work”, is it likely to produce a tangible benefit during said candidate’s term? How important are humility and embracing uncertainty when assessing complex systems like the economy?  How to find meaning in one's work in while being intellectually honest and skeptical. The relationship between specialization and prosperity.  Where does economics end and things like history, political science, and even biology begin? When is overspecialization costly?   Authenticity, the disconnect between reputation and reality, and the toxicity of self-deception.  Hijacking virtue as a means of stifling discussion.  The importance of nuance.
