Season 2 Episode 15  In this episode, I chat with Erica Suter, Youth Strength & Conditioning Coach who specializes in performance and injury prevention for young female athletes.  But that is just a title ... there is so much more to Erica and her soccer journey! Erica talks about the positive impact her mom had her with regards to health and fitness.  She shares her playing experience at Beadling SC in Maryland and her development from a recreational player to high level club player.  Erica talks about her decision to play at John Hopkins in college and the coaches and teammates that made that experience enjoyable and rewarding. Erica gives some insight into her transition to the youth strength and conditioning side of soccer.  She shares her focus on not only improving the players physically, but also emotionally and socially.  Erica stresses the importance of a quality diet, sleep, hydration, stretching, along with putting time in working with the soccer ball.  She, also, shares how she has become "female focused" in terms of youth strength and conditioning. Erica's journey has brought her to Tampa, Florida where she has opened up her own facility and is beginning to grow a community.  She shares the difficulty of leaving players and parents in Maryland to venture out to Florida.  She makes very strong connections with the players she works with and it is evident in the stories that Erica shares.
