In the 43rd episode of the Historic Performance Podcast, I interview Andrew Wiseman. Andrew is the Strength & Conditioning Coach for Celtic F.C. Women. One of the areas that I feel often gets neglected when discussing sports science and physical preparation is the women's side of football. Throughout the past few months, I have reached out to several strength & conditioning coaches and sports scientists involved in women's soccer, but all of them have declined to come on the podcast. Thus, I was very happy when Andrew accepted. In this episode, Andrew talks about postural & dynamic assessments, performance testing, and a typical weekly microcycle at Celtic F.C. Women.
