Today's Guest
Jim Liston is the Director of High Performance and Innovation for the LA Galaxy. Jim started his second stint with the Galaxy in 2021. He had previously worked with the Galaxy from 1998 to 2003 and was fortunate enough to be a part of the group that won the first MLS cup for the Galaxy in 2002.
Jim has a Bachelor of Science from UMass and a Master of Education from Springfield College, which he received in May of 1992. Six weeks after graduation, Jim drove across the country to California because it had been a dream of his since he was young.
Jim worked with Chivas USA for a couple years, consulted with the Columbus Crew for two years, and he spent a number of years in Toronto as the Director of Sports Science, with the highlight being the Treble winning season of 2017. But when the opportunity came to come back to the Galaxy, he jumped at it.
