The very first episode of the Historic Performance podcast has me interviewing Garrison Draper, the Head of Academy Sports Science for the Philadelphia Union Academy. Garrison was the first person that I reached out to for the podcast after reading a Brotherly Game article highlighting his work with the team. The truth is that data collection and analysis is currently at the forefront of player development. Clubs throughout the world are using statistics to assess talent, track player development, and evaluate player fitness. In a highly competitive sport, every single advantage counts. In this episode we discuss - - Garrison Draper's Background - What led him to become a sports scientist
- How an MLS Academy works, specifically the Philadelphia Union Academy
- Garrison's Coaching Philosophy
- The Union's Top-Down Approach - What it takes to become an MLS first team player
- Why soccer data is important and how it is used
- Recovery methods and player load management
- Recommend for young S&C coaches looking to get into soccer S&C or sports science
