Daly Dose Sports

This week on the Daly Dose, we are joined by Dr. Sammy Vogel-Seidenberg who is a professor and Faculty Athletic Representative at Dominican University of California, where he’s spent years shaping the next generation of athletes and sports leaders!He’s also a former hockey player, NCAA head lacrosse coach and assistant athletic director with a deep background in coaching, recruiting, and sports administration. But what really sets him apart is his research. Dr. Vogel-Seidenberg recently completed his PhD in Sports Leadership, with his dissertation titled The Role of Physicality in Professional Hockey: Examining the Impact of Fighting and Hitting on Gameplay, Team Dynamics, and Success. If you’ve ever wondered how physical play influences a team’s performance or whether fighting still has a place in today’s NHL, you’re going to love this conversation!We discuss the impact that physicality can have on a game, why legislating physicality out of the game can actually be dangerous to players, plus Dr. Sammy answer
