Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 8: António Pedro Mendes - The Human Side of Nutrition
Q: What is your background and how did you end up at Sporting CP?
I started with a bachelor in nutritional sciences, built a blog to communicate sports nutrition, and through recommendations and opportunities I joined FC Paços de Ferreira, then FC Porto, Al Nassr, and finally Sporting CP, where I lead a growing nutrition department.
Season 7: Josh Rice - Data That Drives Development
Q: What is your first piece of wearable technology you'd buy in a new academy environment?
GPS to understand training outputs and reverse engineer training demands; heart rate data adds depth, but GPS is foundational for measuring how hard training is.
Season 2: Alex Berger - Strength before Stardom
Q: What are your thoughts about the differences in training loads between club and national teams?
There are different training loads due to travel, wellness, and consistency, and it impacts readiness for competition.
Season 2: Alex Berger - Strength before Stardom
Q: What do you think are some of the more prevalent and important qualities to develop through some of the academy phases?
Understand where each player is in terms of their physical maturation and focus on developing neural pathways and movement competency.
Season 2: Alex Berger - Strength before Stardom
Q: How did your work with the Under 23's national team come about?
I made connections in the Australian football landscape after returning and got a call from the head of sports science for national teams offering me a role.
