Podcasts about national team

In episode 314 of the Glass and Out Podcast we chat with Hockey Hall of Famer Jayna Hefford, who currently works as the Executive Vice-President of Hockey Operations for the PWHL.  As the person who has largely been the face of the league since it's inception in August of 2023, she has played a key role in the growth of female hockey. Her unique background prior to becoming a sports executive includes a playing career as a star on Canada's National Team, playing in five Olympics, capturing four gold medals, and 12 World Championships, where she collected another seven gold medals.  Throughout her career she has gravitated towards leadership roles and demonstrated a knack for bringing people together to achieve a common goal. Nowhere has that skill-set been more valuable than her time with the PWHL. Listen as she shares the origins of the PWHL, why female hockey is rooted in passion and why the league's upwards trajectory has created an exciting time for women's sports.

Episode 170 is live! - 3 Oregon State Championships  - 2011 McDonald's All-American  - University of Kentucky (2012 National Champion) - Gonzaga University (A cool 20.6 and 6 RPG in his senior year)  - Houston Rockets - 10+ years as an overseas pro, and still rolling The overall resume has to be one of the best we've seen on AHJ, but the dude we chop it up with is even better. Kyle Wiltjer grew up with a dad who put Canada first, and although Greg started hoops late at age 18, he ended up having a storied career as well, an example for Kyle to see and possibly follow! As stated, that set the tone as Kyle grew up in Oregon, attending Jesuit high school and really flourishing as a player, BUT….he was a dual citizen and was available to play for Canada. Since then, the 6'10 shooter has played for the National Team many times; however Kyle has found himself back with the Senior squad after a short break, and as you will hear, it means a lot to him. Between the Canada basketball experiences, Kyle attended two of the best NCAA programs in Kentucky and Gonzaga, and we discuss what it was like playing for both those coaching legends, and the style they brought!  Wiltj comes across “cool as a fan”, but don't get it twisted, this is one of Canada's finest ever and an episode worth checking out. We chopped it up while on the road in Romania, so we really do appreciate Kyle's time being with us!

Rob then founded The Athlete Academy with the mission to provide world-class athletic development and coaching for young athletes.

A leading voice in LTAD, Rob also mentors practitioners through Collaborate Sports, helping coaches implement best practices in clubs, schools, and private sectors. QUOTES “It's not uncommon for guys and girls to be growing seven to 12 centimeters in a year. That's a huge physiological change. It's not uncommon during peak weight velocity for guys to be stacking on 10 kilos in a year. That's a huge physiological change. So in some ways, the training programs that we are putting on adult athletes, we know there's a level of adaptation that's going to change physiologically but we're probably getting the greatest physiological change during that period of adolescence, both for male and female athletes, with training”. “If it works with kids, it works with adults but not the other way around” "And sometimes it's going to be a bit deceptive for youth athletes because you might think, well, actually we've not changed training load. Like they're doing exactly what they were doing last year. But actually, last year they weren't in their peak high velocity and now they are. And so maybe their sensitivity has increased and that workload that was previously okay is actually now too much. And we just need to be smart about how we decrease that" “So we need enough calories for the usual resting metabolic rate plus growth. Then what fuelling do we need for athletic endeavors? You know, it tends to be a lot more than parents think in terms of what the requirement actually is. And that's why, you know, it's not uncommon for athletes to be tired and under fueled because they don't realize that how much their calorie requirements are going through that period of training and growing.” “I actually really love martial arts for an LTAD environment, because I think it's actually way more organic. You go into a Jiu-Jitsu class, for example, it's not all the white belts in one room or the brown belts in another room or the blue. It's like combined different ages, different experience levels. And it's actually a really quality LTAD experience and I've kind of borrowed from that.” SHOWNOTES 1) Rob's progression in youth strength and conditioning, from his own experience to Scotland national youth rugby teams to opening Athlete Academy 2) Fundamentals of youth strength & conditioning and dispelling old youth training myths 3) The impact of peak height velocity on different growth related conditions like Osgood Schlatters 4) The difference between peak height velocity and peak weight velocity 5) Organizing training and adaptation aims (e.g., neural vs hypertrophy) around pre, circa, and post pre height velocity 6) The parent as the head of performance for the youth athlete 7) The intake process at the Athlete Academy and putting youth athletes into the right level of a curriculum 8) Micro-dosing different tests across different weeks 9) Addressing parent questions about what their kid needs and the value of unilateral work PEOPLE MENTIONED Avery Faigenbaum Kelvin Giles Dan Baker Rhodri Lloyd John Oliver Shane Fitzgibbon James Baker Angela Jackson Mike Boyle Frans Bosch

Die Schweizer Nationalmannschaft muss sich noch gedulden. Am Montagabend verpasste sie die verfrühte Qualifikation für die WM 2026 in Nordamerika. Die Partie in Ljubljana zeigte auf, was passiert, wenn sich ein Gegner genauestens auf die Schweiz einstellt und Spielern wie Ruben Vargas oder Dan Ndoye auf den Füssen herumsteht. Aber es überwiegt das Positive: Auch in der vierten Partie spielt die Schweiz zu Null. Nun geht es im November weiter, mit Spielen gegen Schweden in Genf und am Ende allenfalls mit einer Finalissima in Kosovo. Wir schauen nun aber zuerst einmal zurück auf die Spiele in Slowenien und Schweden. Was zeichnet diese Schweiz aus? Wer sind die grossen Gewinner? Und steht nach der allfälligen WM-Teilnahme im Sommer etwa ein grosser Umbruch an? Das und vieles mehr in der 311. Folge der Dritten Halbzeit.Host: Marcel RohnerGäste: Dominic Wuillemin und Thomas SchifferleProduzent: Noah Fend In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert.
