About this episode
Welcome to Episode 43 - Developing the Complete Athlete — in Collaboration with Phil Osaer and The Athlete Lab Podcast 🎙️
Dialed & Driven x The Athlete Lab Podcast‼️ Hosts Chris Palmer and Jeff Lerg sit down with Phil Osaer, the host of The Athlete Lab Podcast in this collaboration episode.
Jeff Lerg, Chris Palmer, and Phil Osaer share more than just a passion for athlete development — they work together at The Athlete Academy, an academy for youth athletes which is part of The Athlete Lab. Phil, the Director of Athlete Development at Suburban Sports Group and a former NHL scout, brings a wealth of experience and perspective on what it truly takes to build the complete athlete.
Episode highlights:
- The importance of understanding failure as a pathway to success, particularly in youth development. Highlighting how athletes often seek help reactively when facing challenges rather than proactively seeking mental performance guidance.
- Delayed gratification in modern athlete development, noting how today's instant-gratification culture conflicts with the long-term nature of athletic development.
- Phil Osaer, with his experience in NHL goalie scouting and development, provided insights on what separates successful professional athletes. He emphasized that competitiveness is the key differentiating factor among elite goalies.
- Real stories and experiences from all hosts on developing the whole athlete.
