In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Ramsey Nijem, University of Kansas Men’s Basketball Director of Sport Performance. Former NBA head strength coach at just 25 years old and current performance coach for University of Kansas basketball. Ramsey is known not just for elite-level coaching, but for making complex training science incredibly simple and applicable for coaches and therapists working in the real world.
We go deep on eccentric training - when to use slow vs. fast eccentrics, how to progress from tempo-based rehab to high-speed performance work, and how Ramsey periodizes loading throughout an NCAA basketball season. He also unpacks his approach to athlete buy-in, leadership, and making the weight room a space athletes want to show up to.
Whether you're rehabbing tendinopathy, training vertical jump, or managing force plates in your clinic, this episode will reshape how you think about athlete development and performance.
