Brett Leonard Part II - Jason's first day as an intern at Leonard Hockey
Brett came on the show earlier in the week, talking about how data-driven video analysis and personalized development plans are the cornerstone of his player development practice. His approach sounded awesome, but we only got partway into it. So we scheduled this follow-up to do a deep dive. The context is I am a pretend intern and it is my first day, and Brett does an almost 90 minute deep dive on his player development framework and how he works with elite athletes. If you care about player development, this is one you DO NOT want to miss!
