This week, one of the biggest sporting and cultural events in the world kicks off in Russia: The 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The top soccer (football, if you're just about anywhere other than the USA, who missed the cut this year) players on the planet will gather to compete for international bragging rights. The players represent the best of the best in their sport, and since the tournament is only held every four years, achieving peak performance levels ahead of the competition is of the utmost importance.
Daniel Guzman, the lead performance coach of Major League Soccer (MLS)’s Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), was tasked with training World Cup competitors leading up to sport's biggest stage.
