Tom joins the Full 90' podcast to discuss his role and journey through football!



Tom is a seasoned strength and conditioning coach who currently works for The New Saints Football Club of the Welsh Premier League. We sit down to talk about his role, how he provides value for the players and club, and his beliefs on load management within a professional team.



He discusses how he takes a micro dosing approach when it comes to gym work, prehab, and overall keeping his players healthy; meaning that he puts together short programs to get players in the gym and recovering/preparing correctly without overwhelming the players. He also talks about the 3 types of players he sees in footballers and how he manages and individualizes training programs for different types of players.



This is a very interesting episode where we get some serious insight into how professional players train and the amount of effort and focus that goes into managing the workload in and out of season.

Bobby joins the Full 90' to talk about his journey through football!



Bobby grew up in the FC Dallas Academy, playing with some of the top youth talents across the country at that time (ie. Weston Mckinnie, Kellyn Acosta) before looking towards College footy. As a player in a top academy, Bobby had several options for schools but eventually settled on Furman University.



Bobby enjoyed great success his first 2 seasons in college, then we discuss his feelings about not being at his best the 2nd half of his college career. He felt a changed player and a shadow of the player he once was or knew himself to be.



After college, Bobby believed the pro opportunities would come to him, but that turned out to not be the case. He eventually moved back home, joined NPSL team, and began working a job; all while still holding on to the dream of playing professionally. After several years of working and playing in Dallas, Bobby took a leap of faith and flew to Germany. Leaving his job and his family, Bobby was determined to make it in the football world.



Bobby has a great story of perseverance but he shares some of his regrets and advice for other players. Don't wait for it to come to you, work for it.



I really enjoyed this episode with Bobby, I hope you guys do too!

Sveppi joins the Full 90' to talk about his injury journey!



Sverrir talks about his ACL injury and how he has been coping with things the past 9 months. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in a nearly pointless training after completing a successful season that saw him get his debut in Mens football.



Since his recovery, he has had trouble getting back in to a rhythm with football, the first team in his club trains during the day which makes it tough for him to consistently make it to training due to school. On the other hand, he has already moved past the age that allows him to play with the second team (u19s). This has created a bit of a tough spot for Sverrir as he has felt that he isn't quite getting the full experience of getting back into the first team.



We discuss some of the biggest barriers he has faced and how he handled himself through the process!

Shea joins the Full 90' to discuss her recent ACL injury and road to recovery!



Shea unfortunately tore her ACL in a training this year, resulting in season-ending surgery. Now, 3 months post-op, Shea is beginning to run on the treadmill, jump, and close to putting her boots on for the basics.



Shea and I speak about how each of us have coped with the injury, beginning with actually accepting that *this* injury happened to us. Shea goes on to say how she would have thought this could happen early in her career, but never in year 9, while facing free agency on the horizon.



We discuss her hopes for the future and next contract, and how sometimes the business of football can be a cruel side of the sport to experience first-hand.



We also talk about several topics around injury, filling your time while injured, finding purpose outside football, and even touch on what to do after football! I really enjoyed this episode with Shea, I hope you do too!
