Ilan on the Personalized by VitaminLab Podcast: Building Elite Athletes and High Performance Culture

Yard founder Ilan Cumberbirch joined Dr. David Duizer on the Personalized by VitaminLab podcast to talk about what actually separates elite athletes from everyone else, and how a training floor builds a culture that holds up under pressure.
The conversation runs 55 minutes and covers the move from off-season work with junior players to coaching professionals through an NHL season, and why the answer is rarely more volume.
