Tomasz Wilczak begins his first season as director sports performance with Stetson women’s soccer.
At Stetson, Wilczak serves as the Director of Sports Performance. He monitors the player’s heart rate technology and analyzes the data daily to find trends, increase performance targets and suggest reductions or additions in training load for players daily.
“It’s such a luxury to have someone with Tomasz’s expertise,” head coach Manoj Khettry said. “He is smart, understands the physiological aspect of soccer training and is adept at interpreting our heart rate technology. He helps our staff and our players understand how we can improve our players from a physiological perspective and how we can best prepare them for games, how we can get the best from them in training and how we can help them set realistic training targets in terms of fitness and load during a periodization schedule. He also understands soccer and is tactically adept. So input he gives us in terms of training ideas has helped us redefine our warm-up and certainly some of our activities we do with our players at Stetson. I hope he will continue working with us for a long time.”
A 2014 UCF graduate, Wilczak has coached soccer at multiple levels over the course of the last five years. He currently serves as the girls’ head coach at Lake Mary Prep, and spent two season (2011-13) as the girls’ head coach at DeLand High School.
