Dr. Wightman speaks with Angus Mugford, Director of High Performance for the Toronto Blue Jays about how the pandemic has influence player and team culture performance. Change is a constant, but the pandemic is change that alters what you can control as well as the behavior that represents your methods for excellence. How you practice has been altered; the conditions you face during pre-game are familiar nor do they allow for individualized consideration for how you prepare. What will players and teams do differently and yet not sacrifice the quality of their performacne outcomes. Will injury levels increase? Will I/we be emotionally prepared to meet all competitors? Do pandemic changes take control out of my hands and thereby diminish my capability for historic performance excellence?
