\u201cWe want to be able to sustain excellence and in order to do that you have to move very precisely,\u201d says John Wagle.<\/h6>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more so about connecting with people at the right time, having the right information, listening first, serving their needs, and then nudging towards whatever the process needs to look like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wagle, who has just left his role as the Kansas City Royals\u2019 Director-Performance Science\/Player Development, reflected on his four years working in the clubhouse in the latest edition of the Leaders Performance Podcast.<\/p>\n

  • The challenge of integrating technology in player development [16:45];<\/li>\n
