Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.26 | A/AA to AAA: What Actually Matters in Player Development
Q: What is the real value of playing AAA at a young age for long-term development?
The guests argue that while AAA can provide certain advantages, it is not a guaranteed predictor of success and may not be necessary for every player; long-term development depends on multiple factors including coaching quality, reps, and the player's individual trajectory.
Ep.1 | Dan Crosby - Owner & CEO of BioSteel
Q: What is the core cultural message you want to leave for people at the Academy and your companies?
The culture centers on hard work, discipline, and taking action to become the best version of oneself, with a focus on changing lives for the better and building a legacy of excellence through collective effort.
Ep.1 | Dan Crosby - Owner & CEO of BioSteel
Q: What sparked your decision to acquire BioSteel and build around the BioSteel brand?
The brand's visibility in youth sports and the potential to leverage an in-house manufacturing and online strength aligned with the Canadian Protein platform created a unique synergy; taking over BioSteel allowed full control to leverage it as a marketing engine and scale it responsibly.
