    Beyond the Weight Room: Stress, Habits, and What Really Develops Athletes

    In this episode of The Performance Task, we sit down with JP Echeverria, Minor League Strength & Conditioning Coach with the Boston Red Sox, for a deep, honest conversation about what it really means to develop athletes. JP reflects on his first 10 years in the profession—finding his coaching identity, staying in his lane, and shifting from “rah-rah coaching” to an athlete-centered, habit-driven approach.

This is a must-listen for coaches navigating the early years of the profession—or anyone who believes development is about more than numbers on a spreadsheet. 🎧 Tune in for real talk on growth, resilience, and coaching that actually transfers.
