Welcome back on SPORT VITAMINS for episode 45
As I promised last week, today’s episode is a true Christmas gift for all the listeners out there.
Today’s guest is non other than Dr Nijem Ramsey.
Coach Ramsey was named Men’s Basketball Director of Sport Performance at KANSAS UNIVERSITY in September of 2019
Prior to that, he was the NBA’s youngest head strength and conditioning coach, directing strength and conditioning, sport science and nutrition for the Sacramento Kings.

Coach Ramsey is also the creator of the Applied Performance Coach Course, a 12 week certification course and mentorship program that focuses on 3 pillars of growth - content expertise, coaching practices, and career development.
I took this course last winter and it’s arguably one of the best courses I’ve ever taken.
