Mason and Chris sat down with Nicole Surdyka to talk about her current role as the Lead Physio at the Red Bull Performance Center in Santa Monica, CA. We discuss a variety of topics including: Nicole’s career path, comparison’s between working in professional women’s soccer and working with athletes at Red Bull, injury risk reduction and early specialization, communication and education with athletes, why the “window of opportunity to train” is a poor excuse to perform passive treatments, and Nicole’s goals for this year and for the upcoming years working with Red Bull.
