On this episode I interviewed Adam Parr who is the Interim Head Fitness Coach and Sport Scientist at Minnesota United FC in the MLS.

This episode talks about S&C within soccer as well as the application of sports science in an elite sporting setting

Topics discussed…

• Thoughts and experiences with a negative connotation of S&C within the soccer community and athletes.
• How do you explain and show the benefit of S&C for performance and injury risk reduction in soccer players?
• What his general programming for soccer looks like through pre season to competition period.
• What he implements into his programs to focus on injury risk reduction for soccer athletes.
• What his focuses are from a conditioning aspect and how he implements that.
• Taking on multiple roles during COVID, what data did he prioritize?
• How did he use that data?
• If he had more help/time, what else would he have implemented or what data would he have gathered through the season?
• US vs UK and Australia sports science field and education.
• Importance of usefulness and application of sports science.
