Glauber Barduzzi, one of our Chartered Physiotherapists, spent some time in Riga, Latvia this month with the Northern Ireland women's soccer team as part of the UEFA Women's Football Development Programme.
The development tournament is an under-18 tournament supported by UEFA providing international matches for the development of players with the aim to complement the elite youth player pathway within the national soccer teams.
Glauber's job within the team was to prevent, report and treat injuries. He was also responsible for daily preventive strategies with the full squad such as foam rolling, stretching and pool sessions.
