Description

In this episode we have the privilege of speaking with a Canadian soccer coach by the name of Joe Vecchione, who has a diverse background in conditioning from soccer to swimming. We discuss women’s sports and the idea that often there isn’t much incentive for women to keep playing beyond a certain point because of dead ends they might find there. We talk about various exercises, such as those that have to do with your groin, quads, or hamstrings, that athletes should be doing to avoid injuries. Getting stronger in a sport or technique, you also have to make sure you’re preparing with the additional issues that may arise from developing yourself in order to balance things out and be prepared to avoid injury.

“You have to remember that they’re already training a lot. They’re already training multiple times a week and have a whole sport to prepare for, so you really wanna be as effective as you can with less training…doing a little bit less, but making sure you’re recovering more.” 33:17
