Victoria Saucedo on Training Autonomy, Trickle Down Buy-In, and the Importance of Details in College Hoops

Physical Preparation Podcast Archives - Robertson Training Systems

If you’re interested in training basketball players, evolving their workouts as they age, or learning how to create a CULTURE of training in the basketball space, you’re going to love this week’s episode.

Born and raised in SoCal, Victoria Saucedo played softball at Utah State where she received a Bachelors degree in Human Movement Science.

From there she had stops at NAU, St. Louis University, Wake Forest and VCU before finally landing as the Associate Sports Performance Coach for women’s basketball at Stanford.

And in this episode of the podcast, we take a deep dive into how Victoria trains her female hoopers!

That “rudimentary” freshman program is going to set the foundation for what they’ll need their sophomore, junior and senior year.
