Dave Tenney has dedicated his career to the evolution of the high-performance sport.
He is the High Performance Director for the Major League Soccer expansion franchise, Austin FC, and is highly invested in building a high-performance department that supports the needs of its athletes, coaches, and management.
Prior to joining Austin FC, Dave served as the High Performance Director for the Orlando Magic in the NBA Team and the Seattle Sounders of the MLS.
Dave joins me today to reveal the crucial factor that makes an effective high-performance environment. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration in a high-performance model and explains what makes a “hands-on” High Performance Director different from a “hands-off” one.
He discusses why he transitioned from working in professional soccer to the NBA, and illustrates the various challenges he overcame when he switched.
And last but not least, Dave discusses the value of diversity in building staff-building and explains why upcoming coaches should focus on honing their skills over targeting specific sports or jobs.
The high-performance department is about recognizing and valuing what everyone can bring to the table. – Dave Tenney
