This week on the World of Sports Performance Podcast we are speaking with Ciara Dargahi. Ciara is currently the Assistant Athletic Trainer for the Colorado Rapids. Before working with the Rapids, Ciara had various roles in China, including working the X-Games, Chinese Olympic Sports, as well as the NBA. Ciara shares with us how the pandemic forced her to change her plans, but she was able to turn that change into a positive situation. This was a fun episode for me because we touched on some topics that haven’t been covered yet on the podcast. In this episode we discuss:Working various roles in ChinaHow the pandemic forced Ciara to find a new roleBeing an athletic trainer in a country with a strong history of traditional medicine and the differences in standard careWhat it was like as a female in a very male dominant society Training female athletes during their menstrual cycle Current role with the Colorado Rapids The benefits of working abroad Ciara can be found on Instagram @cdargahi and her email is [email protected].
