What does it take to build an elite sports medicine program from scratch in one of the world’s most demanding sports?
Dr. Heather Linden is the Vice President of the UFC Performance Institute and a two-time World MMA Awards Trainer of the Year. Before joining UFC, she spent seven years at the US Olympic Training Center working across all 52 sports, attending three Olympic Games, and serving as Medical Director for the Youth Winter Olympic Games. When a recruiter called about UFC, she didn’t even know what the sport was. She said yes anyway.
In this episode, Alane Paulley and Dr. Linden dig into what it really means to put the athlete first in a sport where fighters are independent contractors, cut 10% of their body weight in a week, and will compete with bones sticking out. They also talk about how the UFC Performance Institute evaluates and integrates new modalities, the unique parallels between UFC fighters and jockeys, and why Dr. Linden believes the future of sports medicine is in keeping athletes out of surgery, not recovering from it.
