That Time I Chatted with Jamie Burr
On this episode of Teeter Talks, I had the pleasure of talking with my friend Jamie Burr, a leading sports scientist and the Vice President of High Performance for the Chicago Blackhawks. Jamie’s journey spans both research labs and the NHL, where he implements high-performance methods and inspiring new approaches while collaborating with elite athletes, Olympians, and even those of us simply looking to optimize our everyday lives. Jamie has been instrumental in advancing high-performance practices, driving innovation, and mentoring others in the art and science of optimization. His work is redefining what it means to lead in sports science by merging research with practical, real-world applications both on and off the rink.
Join us as we dive into these topics:
- The concept of high performance as a lifestyle choice, not limited to athletes, but available to anyone striving for personal growth and consistency.
- The impacts of cannabis on performance, along with insights from Jamie’s work on blood flow restriction and its application to rehabilitation and improved athletic performance.
- Jamie’s innovative approach to building a positive, results-oriented team culture within the Blackhawks, blending the best of science and sports.
- Practical advice on finding joy in sustainable habits and "controlling the controllables" to build a solid foundation for performance and well-being.
- Jamie’s team-centered leadership mindset and how he empowers others to unlock their full potential.
Jamie’s humility, passion, and dedication to his team and community make him an exemplary leader in high performance. I hope this episode inspires you to consider what it means to lead with purpose, empower others, and create a culture of growth in whatever field you’re in.
