Next week, the United States Women’s National Team will kick off the finals CONCACAF Championship, aiming for an eighth title in that tournament, and qualification for defense of its World Cup crown in 2019. In preparation for those upcoming challenges, the team has been expanding its high performance department over the last year, integrating experts in medical and scientific fields, as well as those in performance analysis. The department’s overall goal is to create the best possible environment for player development and performance.
The High Performance department is separate from the team’s coaching staff, but players and coaches are now able to meet with its staff daily to discuss ideas, learn about new technologies, and benchmark progress.
