On this episode I interviewed Alex Calder who is the Head of Sports Science with the Houston Dynamo in the MLS

This episode touched on sports science, but the main topic was hamstrings.

Topics discussed…

• Alex’s definition of sports science
• How he utilizes sports science in a practical way
• What metrics/data is he collecting in relation to the hamstring to determine readiness or robustness
• Ways he is looking to improve these metrics in the gym and on the field
• How he monitors hamstrings through the season
• How he incorporates sprints and higher velocities
• NordBord usage in hamstring testing readiness
• Nordics, when and where he uses them
• Asymmetry important or not?
• End stage hamstring rehab
