About this episode

Jesse Green discusses his systematic approach to athlete profiling and injury prevention in ice hockey.

In this strategy episode of Performance Strategies and Stumbles, I'm joined by Jesse Green — a sports scientist who has developed a rigorous, systematic approach to athlete profiling, with a particular focus on ice hockey and the injury challenges that come with it. At the heart of this conversation is Jesse's closed-loop process — assess, profile, prescribe, and monitor — and how applying that framework with genuine depth can transform the way you understand and support athletes. Rather than accepting the tools and systems already available, Jesse identified a gap, went looking for answers, and built something better. This episode is a detailed look at what that process actually involved. We get into the groin injury problem in ice hockey — how Jesse identified it as the key issue to address, the research and collaboration that followed, and what the understanding of the sport's anatomy and biomechanics revealed about why existing profiling systems were falling short. From there, Jesse walks through how he developed a new assessment framework from the ground up, what effective prescription looks like when it's genuinely tailored to individual athlete needs, and how monitoring…
