Episode #172: Vic Saucedo

Vic Saucedo is the Director of Women’s Basketball Sports Performance at Stanford University. She is going into her third season at Stanford following two years as the women’s basketball director of sports performance at VCU. Prior to her time at VCU, Saucedo spent a season in a similar capacity at Wake Forest overseeing the women’s basketball program. Saucedo stepped into the college coaching space in 2018 first as an intern strength and conditioning coach at Cal Poly Pomona. She followed that up with a graduate assistant coaching role at Northern Arizona University from 2019-2020 before taking on her first full-time role at Saint Louis University as an assistant sports performance coach for the 2019-2020 season. Saucedo also garnered experience in the private sector early in her career as first a physical therapist aid in 2018 for Logan Physical Therapy and then a strength coach at Cape Fitness in Chino, CA from 2018-2019 while she completed her internship at Cal Poly Pomona.

A highly accomplished athlete herself, Saucedo was a standout softball player at Utah State University. A four-year letterwinner, she set numerous school career records in her time playing including, setting school career records for runs and total bases and finishing second in RBI, home runs and slugging percentage, third in batting average and hits, and fourth in doubles. She completed her collegiate career tied for Utah State’s single-season record of 12 home runs in 2016, garnered second-team All-Region honors in 2016, made the Mountain West All-Conference team three times, including a first-team nod in 2014 when she also was named MWC Freshman of the Year, and earned Academic All-Mountain West accolades twice. She still continues to train working around the rigors and responsibilities of the collegiate schedule.
