Tanner Care: Insights For Unlocking Performance (Ep. 53)

In this episode of the Performance Matters Podcast, Coach Tanner Care breaks down what actually drives performance — and why chasing outputs has quietly become a problem in modern coaching.We talk about how the definition of performance has expanded beyond numbers on a force plate, why jump height alone tells a painfully incomplete story, and how input-based training creates more durable, adaptable athletes — especially in-season.This conversation hits on communication, role clarity within performance teams, youth development mistakes that lead to injury, and the ego traps that kill collaboration in high-performance environments.Metrics still matter.They just aren’t the coach.🎧 Inside the episode:Why great coaching starts with communication, not dashboardsThe shift from output-based to input-based trainingWhat jump data misses — and what to look at insteadHow to train in-season without frying athletesWhy youth sport priorities are backwardsHow ego quietly sabotages high-performance teamsWhy learning never stops if you want longevity in this fieldBetter inputs.
