“Roberto”:

Roberto Iezzi currently is a strength & conditioning coach at Brescia Basket that plays in the Italian league as well as the Eurocup. He also spent three years of his career in Jerusalem working for Hapoel where he trained Amare Stoudamire amongst others. This past summer Roberto also worked with the Italian u20 National Team. He also has two podcasts that he hosts, one is a solely Italian podcast where him and his co-host Andrea interview specialist from their field in Italy and “Sport Vitamins” is an English-speaking podcast where he invites sports professionals from all over the world to “talk-shop” about sports.

Today’s episode is a look at the process behind the scenes with the work of a strength & conditioning and every aspect that comes with it. We talked about the problem solving during a season, specifically the dynamics with him and the head coach as well as the doctors & players. Lots of coordination as well as communication especially during the rehab process of a player. We talked about the details that matter when ‘re-conditioning’ a player as well as what metrics to use in order to convince the head coach about practice intensity & volume. 

Lots of other topics that surfaced that we ‘double-clicked’ on while having our conversation.
