ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Skylar Richards is the current Director of physiology and science at Orlando City SC. Skylar has a wealth of experience within some of North America's most recognisable sports organisations in particular within the MLS.
Skylar started his career with a primary focus on injury prevention through scalable detection and recovery strategies for athletes. These strategies focus on increased training availability and physiologic monitoring which has been a strong focus for Skylar throughout his career and industry experience.
As a strong advocate for truly understanding the needs for athletes to succeed, Skylar speaks on his belief that the industry seems to far to often confuse the definitions of a data analysis and data scientists. The importance is placed on being able to resources your high performance department with the right people to nurture a successful team or even better athletes.
Skylar's work focuses heavily on the recovery and prevention techniques for elite soccer in the United States, and in 2015 founded a partnership between national clubs to open the first US professional soccer recovery lab highlighting the prevalence of soft tissue injuries and immobilization, nutrition and anti-inflammatory modalities within the MLS and beyond.
Skylar brings a huge amount of knowledge to this podcast and the Lumin Sports team appreciate the time, sharing his experiences and knowledge.
