I sit down with strength and conditioning legend, Michael Boyle. He is one of the top experts in the field of Strength and Conditioning, and has trained a range of athletes from high schoolers to professionals. Michael was also the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the 1998 US Women's Olympic Ice Hockey Team, Gold Medalists in Nagano, and was a consultant in the development of the USA Hockey National Team Development Program. In today's episode, he discusses the dangers of early specialization and year-round soccer, why soccer players shouldn't run cross country, and why female soccer players need strength training.
