For this first podcast episode I talk with Head of Strength & Conditioning for Orlando Pride, Ivi Casagrande. Ivi was the first guest we reached out to for the podcast and she kindly took a leap of faith to be our first guest!
In this episode with Ivi we’ll discuss
- Ivis Background and journey into the industry
- What a typical week at Orlando Pride looks like
- Her approach to training the players
- Her approach to getting player buy-in
- Data collection, GPS, video analysis of conditioning drills
- Return to play ‘norms’ and acute:chronic workload ratio
- Implementing cognitive challenges within warm-ups
- The benefits of players training barefoot in the gym
- Breathing mechanics to encourage players down-regulate.
It’s an interesting chat with Ivi and I’m grateful to her trust to be our first guest in the podcasts infancy.
