Shaun Correia, PT, DPT Since graduating in 2023, I have pursued numerous continuing education opportunities, but Dr. Ramsey’s six-week course has been by far the most impactful. It significantly increased my confidence in applying evidence-based strength and conditioning principles to help patients achieve their goals in physical therapy. The course is exceptionally thorough, providing valuable research articles, presentations, and practical concepts that can be immediately integrated into clinical practice to enhance both efficiency and precision in clinical decision-making. I highly recommend this course to any clinician looking to strengthen their knowledge and application of strength and conditioning.

I took this certification to align myself with my purpose as a professional. My dream is to be a Strength & Conditioning Coach and taking this Applied Performance course has helped me align myself in my dreams and has given me a lot of knowledge. Thank you Ramsey for everything you have done, because this course has given me a lot of information and has opened the doors in my knowledge.

As a young performance coach early in my college education, this course was the perfect blend of high-level information that was still accessible and easy to understand. Ramsey's engaging lecturing style and content delivery made the challenging course load both enjoyable and manageable. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking comprehensive knowledge on a wide range of strength and conditioning topics and applicable coaching principles.

Thanks Ramsey, This course was great! The best part of the course is that you can apply most if not all of the modules. If you treat athletes or even general population I highly recommend this course!

As a Sports Physical Therapist, this course has been great to help me understand how I can integrate performance into rehabilitation, and be on the same page with strength coaches. The topics covered including VBT, periodization, SAQ, ACWR, return to performance, and leadership helped me grow as a clinician and as a person. The best thing about APCC are the group calls with live lectures to recap the research & material covered throughout the week. They help learn from others in the cohort and provide a deeper understanding into the insight of coaching high level athletes. A highly recommend this course to anybody that wants to expand their knowledge about performance enhancement and work in college / pro athletics.

The APC certification & mentorship program is in a league of it's own. Coach Ramsey does an exceptional job covering a extensive course load in an accelerated 6 week format. The course provides an ideal balance between evidence-based practices drawn from relevant literature, practice-based evidence from Coach Ramsey's experience at both the professional and collegiate levels, & valuable frameworks for coaching and career progression. It also cultivates a sense of community through engaging course modules and weekly lectures from Ramsey & other experts in the field. I highly recommend this course.

Hello, my name is Christian Laboy. I'm from Villalba, Puerto Rico. I'm 27 years old and a certified personal trainer by the Puerto Rico Department of Sports and Recreation. I'm also a soccer coach. I learned about the Applied Performance Coach Certification through a former coach, Luis Layu. This course has helped me, in my recent involvement, understand all the necessary components for preparing athletes both in competition and in the offseason. I'm excited, happy, and content with the challenge.

My name is Milijan Nikolic, Head of Performance in AEK BC, Greece. The knowledge given in short and concise content is fantastic. It's drives a level of thinking that can only enhance the profession forward. I would like to highlight the practical application of this course and value of the hands-on experience and guidance from Ramsey!

This course has been a great link from theory to practical application in the sports performance setting and provides a very dynamic framework, which no textbook in the world can achieve.

One of the best continuing education decisions I have made in 22 years is taking the APC course. Ramsey provides the perfect blend of evidence based information with practical application to equip any practitioner in delivering great performance programs. The APC course is an extremely valuable resource for our profession. Rick Lefebvre - Jesuit Dallas Director of Athletic Performance

I first met Dr. Ramsey Nijem when he was out in Sacramento and was very excited when I found out about his APC program. There was no hesitation in signing up to learn more from him and his network. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to broaden/reinforce their understanding in regards to human performance.

Dr. Ramsey's APC 6-week certification course was excellent. The course consists of two modules per week, each comprising two lectures, 5-8 research articles, quizzes, and optional assignments designed to enhance your learning. The course is an excellent way for practitioners to continue their education alongside their careers. He provides a ton of information, and all the subject matters are highly detailed. His passion and dedication to educate and enhance his fellow practitioners in the strength and conditioning industry and beyond are admirable. Fantastic course and 100% recommend!!

I'm Yuuma Niimi, an upcoming sports performance coach. Regardless of where you are at in your career, APC is a great platform to learn from, whether you are an older and/or more experienced coach, or for those who are younger and/or just starting out in this field, APC gives you the opportunity to further expand your knowledge. However, what ultimately makes this course stand out is the community it brings, as it gathers all coaches around the world, giving you a great space to be able to connect with one another. I highly recommend it for those who are constantly looking to learn and improve at their craft, and also to connect with others.

I am so grateful for Ramsey and the amazing course he put together! I can easily say this course is well rounded and comprehensive. You will definitely meet your needs and feel confident as a performance coach coming out of it. The natural next thing to do is to apply all you learned and represent the APCC family with pride!

I'm Leonardo Mendoza, a physiotherapist and strength & conditioning coach based in Panama. Throughout my career, I've been committed to developing a broader, evidence-based approach to rehabilitation, pain science, and fitness. After earning my Clinical Athlete Provider certification, I realized that expanding my knowledge into the performance realm was the next step to becoming a more complete clinician and coach. The Applied Performance Coach (APC) course exceeded all my expectations. It masterfully blends scientific evidence with real-world application, covering essential topics without losing nuance or context. Every module felt purposeful, and the content immediately elevated the way I work with both athletes and rehab clients. If you're passionate about bridging the gap between rehab and performance, this course is a game changer.

I have been training athletes professionally for almost 20 years, this is easily the most in depth course/refresher I have taken in that span. Highly recommended to anyone that wants to further their S&C knowledge!

Applied Performance Coach is the best course that I have taken hands down. Dr. Nijem applies all the research he has done in the field and presents it in an easy to understand way that allows you to grow exponentially as a coach throughout his course. For all of us who are busy coaching, this is the resource you need to refresh your knowledge and learn from the best in the game.

I'm just starting in this career, working as a graduate assistant at the moment, and this course gave me a solid foundation of what I need to know and what I want to keep learning. The insights and tools I gained have been super helpful and practical. No matter where I end up in my career, I know I will frequently go back to this information because of its accessibility and how fundamental it is.

As a young Strength and Conditioning coach in this industry, this course has been incredibly helpful. Having a research backed understanding of these principles along with the practical application from Coach Ramsey and other coaches in the cohort puts this course above any other. It's great to have lifetime access to these presentations, as I'll definitely be referring to them to further progress my current internship education program.

As strength & conditioning professional with experience in both the collegiate and private sector settings, I’ve invested significantly in continuing education. The Applied Performance Coach course stands out as one of the most comprehensive and informative I’ve taken. The course blends practical application with solid scientific backing. Ramsey ensures a grounded approach, merging personal development with actionable insights for decision-making in the field. The passion and authenticity in the course are palpable, making it invaluable for any strength and conditioning, fitness, or rehab professional looking to elevate their expertise. Most importantly to me, Ramsey keeps it real - his energy is contagious and should serve as a figure of inspiration for coaches across the industry.

I'm a young S&C coach - still making my way into the industry, trying to pour into myself so I can then pour into my athletes. This course was highly recommended for a great reason, and it is the greatest investment you can make to elevate yourself as a professional. Dr. Ramsey is a no-nonsense, highly skilled professional who will do his utmost to give you the resources you want and need. If you're not sure where to go in your career, this course is for you. If you're a seasoned coach, this course will add to your arsenal.

Thomas Malchow, MSKin, CSCS, APC - Robust Golfer The Applied Performance Coach Certification and Mentorship is an outstanding blend of science and real-world coaching application. Dr. Nijem has created a course that not only delivers the latest research in performance science but also teaches how to apply it effectively in coaching environments. The structured mentorship, interactive discussions, and practical insights help bridge the gap between theory and execution, giving coaches the tools and confidence to make better decisions for their athletes. This course is a must for any coach looking to sharpen their skills and elevate their impact in the field.

The Applied Performance Coaching Certificate is one of the best courses I’ve taken as a coach. It does a great job breaking down research and showing how to apply it in real-world settings to ensure you get results. Instead of treating theory and practice as separate, it integrates them seamlessly, making it clear how scientific principles directly impact coaching outcomes. Dr. Ramsey (Ram) is incredibly generous with his time and knowledge, ensuring that every concept is not just understood but applied effectively. Even if you can’t make a live session, the recordings are so well-done that you still feel engaged. If you’re a coach looking to sharpen your ability to apply performance science in practical settings, I can’t recommend this course enough.

Hi Ramsey, My name is Giuseppe Cutruzzolà, I’m from Switzerland, and I currently work with young alpine ski racers aged 16 to 20. I'm passionate about basketball—I’ve played, coached, and now, alongside my job, I collaborate with the Swiss Basketball Federation to help develop other coaches in the field. I absolutely loved your course! Initially, I planned to attend all the live sessions, but I faced two challenges: I wasn’t completely comfortable with the language, and the sessions often didn’t fit into my schedule. So, I decided to take a different approach and follow the recorded sessions whenever I had some free time in my daily routine. I have a one-hour train ride to work every day, so I often used that time to go through the course. And now, I’ve finally completed it! I took my time, but I was completely fine with that, and I’m really happy to have accomplished it. For me, the course was incredibly interesting. Some of the knowledge was already familiar to me, but I truly appreciated all the details you provided and the experiences you shared. One suggestion for improvement would be to use more "international" English to make it easier to understand for a global audience. Thanks again for this great learning experience! Best regards, Giuseppe Cutruzzolà

As a Strength and Conditioning coach and being in the industry for 15 years, the APC course is by far the best course I have been on. It has helped me understand not just how to bring out the best of my clients and athletes but also the best out of me as a coach. The course makes you think and stay accountable. The curriculum covers all the important topics in depth with research and real world examples which would help you become a high level performance coach. To be able to connect with Coach Ramsey and other coaches of such a high caliber has made it a great opportunity to learn and grow. I appreciate all the hard work Coach Ramsey has put into this course.

I had seen this course for a couple of years, and knew that I wanted to take it and learn from one of the best researchers and coaches out there. I was grateful enough to get a grant from my school, and jumped on the opportunity to join the fall cohort. In the few short weeks it took me to complete the course, I was able to learn a grate deal of information that I could use in my current role. Dr. Nijem certainly knows his stuff, and this course shows that. Beyond the information that you learn from this course, I think one of the biggest upsides is Dr. Nijem's willingness to help you out. If there are questions asked that he doesn't know, he will spend his own time looking up those questions and finding you actual research on the subject. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to be a better coach, researcher, PT, OT, Personal Trainer, etc.

My name is Shazwan, and I’m from Malaysia. I’m a primary school teacher working with kids and training them in sports. My passion lies in youth strength and conditioning, and I’m currently pursuing my PhD in this area. First of all, a big shoutout to Dr. Ramsey. He personally helped me join this course and even took the time to send me a video message, which really shows the effort he puts into making everyone in this course feel welcomed. Although I can’t join any live calls, one thing I truly appreciate about this course is how it combines both theory and practical application. This blend is something I rarely find in other programs. It has opened my eyes to how top coaches work with elite athletes, and I’ve also gained insights into training team sports, an area I’m less familiar with. Dr. Ramsey’s background as both a PhD scholar and a coach is evident in how well this course is designed and delivered. The title “Applied Performance Coach” is spot on, as the course focuses on actionable concepts that can be applied to various contexts, including my own. Once again, thank you to Dr. Ramsey for creating such an amazing course. I highly recommend it to other coaches. If I can gain a lot from this course, i’m sure you’ll gain even more value from it!

The Applied Performance Coach certification is a no-nonsense course packed with evidence based material on all things performance. Coach Ram's passion for this space definitely shines through when he lectures, and each topic is more than thoroughly covered with all of the supplemental material provided in the Coaches Digest and Coaches Corner section of the mentorship. It is founded on the principles of performance, rather than his own proprietary "system", which makes the material practical and easy to adapt to your own situation. The course is of incredible value and I would recommend it to anyone looking to level up their knowledge of performance!

I am Head Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Philadelphia 76ers and have close to 20 years of S&C experience working with elite athletes. I have a Master's Degree in Kinesiology. I must say that the APC course packs more practical info and material in 6 weeks than my graduate program included in 2 years. The APC course has helped me to stay on top of all the current research in the S&C field and has pushed me to become a better coach. I recommend it to all sports performance practitioners.

Can't say enough about this course. Ram knocks it out with content and discussion on topics that you need to know. Looking forward to more content from you Ramsey.

The APC course is above and beyond all courses! It is for all experience levels and all members of performance teams [ATC, Dietician, Applied Scientist, etc.]. As a more experienced coach, it provided a way to stay up to date with the latest research and best practices. Thank you Coach Ramsey!

This course has helped me as a Medical First Background, connect the gaps a little bit between our Sports Performance umbrella. For me, I believe in teamwork first, so to help bridge the knowledge gap so I can apply it from the Sports Medicine perspective has been extremely helpful.

As a performance coach in both the private sector and at the college level, the APC course has been incredibly valuable. It’s helped me gain a deeper understanding of the science behind coaching and provided clear, evidence-based answers to questions I didn’t even know I had. The course is straightforward and practical, giving me tools and insights that I could immediately apply in my work. It’s not just about learning new techniques; it’s about understanding why they work. APC has helped me refine my coaching approach and sharpen my philosophy, making me a more confident and effective coach. I highly recommend APC to any coach looking to improve their skills. Whether you work with elite athletes or beginners, this course offers practical knowledge grounded in science.

World class course and highly recommend for new and experienced S&C coaches. This course has allowed me to become a better asset to my current and any future organizations. Thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this community.

My name is Dalton Haywood and I'm a S&C Coach at a D2 school called Union University. APC has helped me learn more about our field in ways I didn't know before. I've gained knowledge, confidence, and connections through this course. My favorite thing about APC is the coaches connect each week. There is so much value that can be brough to hoping a zoom each week by listening and connecting. The value is truly unlike any other.

S&C Coach APC has helped me not only deepen my knowledge of S&C, but it has streamlined a lot of my processes necessary to operate in a high performance setting. I feel as if I have the necessary tools to contribute at a high level no matter what organization I am a part of. The best part of the APC course, above all, is Ramsey's energy and ambition towards improving others. His authenticity bleeds through in all lectures. All of the content is put together with a high level of detail, cohesiveness, and care.

I am a 20 years old S&C coach from Macedonia, I currently work in a club called MZT SKOPJE which is the champion of the Macedonian first league. The APC course has helped me stay with current best research and also learn from someone who has been in my position and understand what it’s like to be a young S&C coach.

This course is for anyone looking to bridge the gap between research and applied training. The most practical, straightforward, and comprehensive CEU course I've been apart of. This is a community that encourages development, accountability, and self-growth. One of the best investments I've ever made as a coach.

My name is Chris Tamez and I’m the Head of Strength and Conditioning for Cordova high School. I took this course because I wanted to brush up on concepts that I learned in undergrad and grad school since I have been out of S&C for a few years. I taught elementary PE for a number of year before I got my current job. This course had help me expand my mind in how I think about training. A lot of my programming in my younger years was Olympic based. This course has helped me fill in gaps that I was missing in my current programming and has helped me hit the ground running in my 2nd year in this role. I can already see the changes from our soccer and basketball teams from year 1 to year . I encourage anyone in the field of S&C or just fitness in general to take this course. It is worth every penny!

This mentorship program has been instrumental in understanding the overall roll of the profession. It's always amazing to be in a environment of likeminded individuals looking to get better. The best thing about APC is the knowledge and passion Coach Ram has for the job! To be a former athlete, I can feel how much he cares about the people he works with. I can see that he knows how to communicate and get the most out of his team! And to pair science and literature with real world experience, makes this course highly recommendable! You will definitely walk away feeling like a better coach!

My name is Darius McAphee. I am a physical therapist and work in a clinic that sees a heavy population of sports. The APC has helped me to understand some of the finer details of the material covered. I had a general knowledge of what was covered due to my other certifications from the NSCA and NASM. I appreciate Coach Ramsey helping me to piece together the material that I have filled in some of the blanks that was present in my puzzle. The best thing to me about the course is that Coach Ramsey is genuinely concerned about the community and each and every person that has joined it. I appreciate the fact that I knew if I emailed him, I didn't have to wonder if he would get back to me.

My name is Thomas Suh, a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and aspiring strength coach with the Dallas Mavericks' G League team. Participating in the APCC mentorship significantly boosted my skills, opening my eyes to new dimensions in strength & conditioning that I had not fully grasped before. My goal was to learn the language of strength & conditioning as efficiently as possible to effectively collaborate with other coaches in the industry, and this course exceeded all my expectations. This mentorship guided me toward innovative programming and personal development strategies, addressing the educational gaps left by traditional PT and AT in the strength and conditioning discipline. I now feel much more confident in bridging the gap from rehab to performance, so I strongly recommend this course to any physical therapist or athletic trainer, regardless of their experience level, who is aiming to elevate their programming and rehabilitation techniques to make a serious impact. Thanks to Coach Ramsey, I'm now excited to apply theoretical strength & conditioning concepts in practical ways, reshaping how I function as a clinician.

My name is Leah Ellis and I am a physical therapist. I really enjoyed taking this course as it has helped me connect between the knowing and the doing. Being a physical therapist, our knowledge base begins with knowing the injury and rehab from it but not following the patients all the way through. As an aspiring strength coach now, this course has helped me think differently in how I will not only rehab my athletes, but better program their return to play for higher performance. Thank you for putting together such a detailed course! Very unique experience to connect with you and others in real time and learn from someone genuinely. Recommend to anyone!

The Applied Performance Certification was everything I was looking for in a course geared towards S&C and sports rehab. As a sports physical therapist, this course dove heavily into information that I was not exposed to in both physical therapy school as well as my sports residency. I was familiar with some of the content on a surface level prior to the course, but the lectures and additional materials allowed me to develop more in depth knowledge in many different areas. I recommend this course to anybody in the sports rehab and/or strength and conditioning space.

The APC mentorship has done wonders for pointing me in the right direction in all things strength and conditioning, from programming to the traits needed to build better people overall. This has been especially helpful for me as these are most things that undergrad does not necessarily expand on in much context; and in as much detail as Coach Ramsey does. I would say the best thing about APC has been connecting with not only Coach Ramsey but also all the other coaches within the cohort and being able to learn from each and every one of them. Hearing different perspectives from other coaches and creating a community where everyone tries to work together to push the field as a whole in the right direction is something truly amazing. I would truly recommend this course to any coach - with any amount of experience, as it provides irreplaceable value in not only the information given, but the people you will meet as well!

As a young strength and conditioning coach, this course has vastly increased my knowledge in all areas of athletic performance and has given me the confidence to immediately apply these practical skills in my current position. What makes this course top-tier is Ramsey's passion and committment to invest all he can in the community of coaches during our weekly zoom meetings. The APC course is great for all performance coaches as well as those just starting their career!

APC changed the way I approach S&C. The level of depth is really off the charts. Couldn't be more satisfied with the experience.

Ramsey - Thanks so much for this course. I really appreciate the progression of the lectures and how you distill complex information into coaching strategies that strength coaches can deploy right now. I'm a sport performance specialist in Oakland, CA and I split my time between S&C and Mental Performance Coaching. Even though I'm relatively seasoned in the sport performance community I always seek ways to expand my knowledge base and continue to develop professionally. I actually found out about the APC cert thru your Force Plate course which I thought was world class. In general, from my experience with both products, APC has helped lift that veneer many coaches fall victim to, which is believing we already know everything we need to know. Comprehensive research analysis, thorough discussions that simplify that research, and simply feeling a part of a community of learners was the energy I wasn't sure I needed but that APC delivered. The best thing about APC is you Ramsey. I was first exposed to you a few years back when you were a guest speaker for a seminar at my former employer Future and could tell right away this was a guy that gets it, and gets it the same way I do. You know first hand that there are few people in high performance that look, sound, and present in ways similar to you and I. I just really appreciate you stepping up and showcasing that a doctoral level practitioner can authentically connect with the athletes they support to better help them accomplish their goals by simply being yourself and not trying to be the smartest person in the room.

My name is Jeremy Kaplan, the owner of Ascend Athletics a Strength & Conditioning Gym in Edgewater NJ. The APC mentorship is a must take if you're a strength and conditioning coach. This class is unique and unlike any other mentorships that I've seen as it takes the scientific literature and explains how to apply it to athletes across the board. Ramsey is an open book with real life experience in the most elite and prestigious leagues. His only goal is to help you succeed and he'll tell you point blank how he applies it and how the application differs from working with different athletes among different sectors. The best part about the APC is getting to work with Ramsey and the wealth of experience he has. I found it really interesting to hear exactly how he periodizes, writes programs, progresses movements, integrates science into the training and the stories and analogies that he uses to make it very easy to understand and implement. This is a must take mentorship if you're a strength coach looking to level up your knowledge & build your community!

My name is Michael Besselink and I am a professional basketball player, coach and personal trainer. APC has helped me develope both as a coach and as an athlete myself. I had high hopes for the APC course and my expectations were exceeded. Coach Ramsey Nijem is a great teacher and has so much knowledge to offer.

My name is Jeff Romero and I am private facility gym owner who work with athletes and adults of all ages. I was a part of the first ever APC Cohort and it was probably the best decision I took to further my training knowledge. To learn not only from Ramsey, but from other coaches in the field has helped me elevate my coaching. Ramsey's APC course has helped me in my master's program as I feel like I am a step ahead of my classmates due to the amount of research and work Ramsey has included in the APC course. However, as we know, education gets your foot in the door, but it's also who you know that gets you a seat at the table. The amount of connections I've made in this course goes beyond what I was expecting after finishing the course. The APC community stays undefeated and I am beyond grateful for this course. I will always recommend it to coaches looking to elevate their game.

The APC program has a very well-rounded, evidence-based curriculum that highlights the most pertinent subject matters. Coach Ramsey is very responsive to any questions. The APC community is unmatched!

I heard about this course through a good friend of mine and it was worth every penny. Ramsey does a great job of not only supplying sufficient information to make it worth your while but prioritizes a community of professionals from all over the athletic world that are committed to providing their athletes/clients with the best training experience possible.

One of the best course out there. Its not only the scientifically supported content which is high level, but the teaching skills of Ramsey and his experiences from top professional teams that make this course unique. Everyone that works in a professional team setting can get applicable knowledge and get in contact with coaches from all over the world.

The APCC course has been nothing short of amazing. Ramsey has done a great job putting together a detailed, thorough, and excellent program that challenges those who participate to dive deep and really explore the material.

Great stuff, lot of important materials in one place, "practical" informations based on own experience- something what you never get on any regular courses!

Taking this course as I am finishing up my DPT degree was one of the best decisions I could have made. Coach Ramsey provided exceptional information that gives me so much confidence in trying the "bridge the gap" between rehab and performance. He truly cares about every person in the cohort and is raising the standard for S&C. I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to becoming a better coach and clinician!

The quality and presentation of the material and concepts was fantastic. As a PT, this course did a very good job of filling in the gaps in my knowledge and understanding of strength and conditioning. I feel that I am much better equipped to take my patients from rehab into performance.

Great Course with lots of personal and countable Input from the highest level!

The APC course exceeded my expectations right from the start. Despite the comprehensive nature of the content, the course presents information in an easily digestible format. It delivers in-depth insights into key areas of sports performance while fostering valuable connections among a vibrant community of coaches. This unique blend ensures coaches not only learn from the latest research, but also benefit from shared experiences and perspectives. Ramsey's dedication to providing valuable resources and creating a supportive environment highlights his commitment to the growth and success of coaches across the board. This course resonates deeply with coaches seeking to advance their skills and impact in the field.

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with the APC certification program. As a fitness enthusiast striving to be an S&C coach, I have always had a passion for helping individuals achieve their health and fitness goals. This certification has given me the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take my training to the next level. Coach Ramsey is a highly experienced professional who shares his knowledge and expertise in a clear and engaging manner. They were always willing to answer questions and provide guidance, which greatly enhanced my learning experience.

Thank you for providing this course. You have brought a lot of value material together in one place, as well made a community of coaches who are eager to learn. Thank you for your easy going approach and vast amount of knowledge you have shared with us. I has made learning the material less intimidating and overwhelming. I really enjoy the lectures, questions, quizzes and readings. Despite there is a lot a material, I'd rather have more than not enough. I hope to continue to build a professional relationship with you and all the other coaches. Thanks Coach Ramsey

A massive thank you for everything. Your coaching on strength and conditioning has been a game-changer for me. Your teaching style is so unique and refreshing, and I love how much valuable information you managed to pack into your course. It's been a real eye-opener, and I think anyone in the field could benefit from it. Your passion for what you do shines through, and it's infectious! Thanks again for everything Dr. Ramsey!

APC is a great self guided course that if you're really serious about it, can help you in so many ways both professionally and personally. I utilize a lot of the concepts learned in the course with my current clients and it has expanded my knowledge base to allow for more informed decision making and increased confidence in myself. If you are looking for a course where you get up to date research, additional resources, the opportunity to ask any and all questions and a community of like minded people in the SC/performance space, look no further than APC.

Ramsey is a wealth of knowledge and experience. His APC course is the best course I have taken. As a Physical Therapist and former collegiate basketball player, I love learning about working with an athletic population and indulging in courses that make me a more well-rounded clinician and coach.

This course far exceeded my expectations. The quality is of the material is on par with classes I took in grad school. The course is essentially a framework for how to be a great strength coach, which was extremely helpful for a young coach like myself. Ramsey has obviously put a ton of time and effort into this course and it is beyond worth the investment.

Enrolling in the Performance Coach course with Dr. Ramsey has been an absolute game-changer for me. His wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field is truly remarkable, and he has a unique ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable, practical applications for training. Dr. Ramsey's teaching style is engaging and dynamic, making every session both informative and enjoyable. Thanks to this course, I now feel more confident and equipped with a deeper understanding of performance coaching principles. I've gained invaluable insights and practical strategies that I can immediately apply to my work with athletes. Dr. Ramsey has empowered me with the tools and knowledge necessary to elevate my coaching skills and help my athletes reach their full potential. I highly recommend the Performance Coach course with Dr. Ramsey to anyone looking to enhance their coaching abilities and make a positive impact on athlete performance. It's been an inspiring journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a passionate and knowledgeable instructor.

In a season of my life that is highly variable and necessarily chaotic, this course has helped act as a beacon towards one of my great loves in life, human performance. Whether I'am catching up on lectures while making family dinner, or course work late into the evening. I am less worried about what time it is and more encouraged by the time spent making connections. Thanks for your commitment to create a learning system that encourages personal and professional growth in an ever changing practice.

Man, I can't even describe the depths of this course and what it can do for the many young coaches in this industry. A lot of guess work is at the forefront of the performance world and Ramsey truly does a great job of steering away from exact issue in today's environment. Thank you for the community and thank you for the knowledge! Keep it coming!

This course has been nothing short of influential. I have learned so much and have had incredible opportunities to connect with other amazing people. I am truly grateful for this experience and would 100% recommend!

The APC course is one of the best courses I have taken in a while. It is very applicable to both rehab and performance professionals and will take your approach to working with athletes to another level. Ramsey makes the material easy to digest and is available to answer any questions along the way.

The Applied Performance Coach (APC) certification provides a comprehensive approach for the care, training, and monitoring of the athletic population. Dr. Ramsey Nijem delivers a course rooted in evidence based practice, but also provides a space for individual application, growth, and networking with other professionals. For anyone trying improve or develop their knowledge in all areas of sport performance, your first consideration should be the APC course.

This course is worth every penny for the coach that is looking to expand their knowledge and sharpen their skills as an S&C coach. I would highly recommend this course to any coach as it is more than just CEU credits.

Coach Ramsey has not only created some of the best learning content for coaches, but also fostered an incredible environment of collaboration and growth. During his lectures every week, he generously shares his knowledge, experience, and time, and is always present until the last Q&A question is answered. It is abundantly clear how passionate he is about strength and conditioning, and about leaving our profession better than he found it. This course has helped me gain more confidence in my ability to help my athletes reach the next level in their fitness. I highly recommend this course to any practitioner who wants to level up and be a part of a great community of coaches!

Ramsey is a master of his craft and is able to easily disseminate complex topics into understandable bites. He pulls examples and knowledge gleaned from his years of experience in the industry to educate our cohort and ensure we are applying best practices with our athletes. At the end of each live lecture, he leaves ample time for questions, clarification on lecture topics, and good ol' talking shop. If you are a strength/performance coach, AT, or PT looking to get more experience in the realm of human performance, I would highly recommend this course!

The available research articles that Coach Nijem provides to educate provides a great foundation to understanding best practice to apply training strategies. He provides real-life experiences from his coaching and research to improve understanding and application in all aspects of Strength & Conditioning.

This course covers a vast number of fundamental topics in S&C and rehabilitation at a very high level. Led by a passionate and genuine professional in Ramsey Nijem, the content is easily digestible and have significantly inspired me to continue refining my craft as a performance physical therapist. I proudly recommend this course to all my colleagues, and to anyone with a desire to learn from a top-notch leader in the field.

What Dr. Ramsey has put together in this course is amazing! He has integrated applied research and shares how we as practitioners can utilize this information in a practical setting. This comprehensive course is for everyone whether you are new to the profession or been in it for years, this course provides value for every single practitioner. If you are looking to invest in your career, APC is the one stop shop!

Ramsey has really done a great job with this course and I would highly recommend it! What separates this course to others is his content creation and making complex concepts simplified with real world examples from his past experiences. What makes the class unique is his passion for learning, but also the community involvement. He takes questions after lectures well past an hour always trying to help other coaches gain the knowledge he may have seen in his work. Highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about improving in the applied setting of sports performance!

I am really enjoying the course and its structured approach to understand all the aspect of being a performance coach. The live meetings have been particularly beneficial, allowing us to connect with one another and delve into specific questions or share live experiences with Ramsey, thereby receiving invaluable feedback. The course's excellent breakdown into a comprehensive guide has truly made the learning process engaging.

Every course teaches you something. This course covers several topics all of which are important to our profession, which makes it suitable for everyone. In addition, Dr. Nijem created it by building a community made up of professionals and non-professionals with whom you can compare and interact, which is unique. Moreover, the lectures with Ramsey always surprise with his level of knowledge and the way he conveys it, his humility and his helpfulness. For me, APCC is a unique "course" and definitely worthwhile.

I love how this course puts everything I've learned or applied over the years into one short place. I also loved being able to learn at my own pace as I had a lot on my plate at the time I joined the cohort. I also enjoyed the opportunity join a community of peers in the field of S&C that I can befriend and learn from.

Amazing course! Very detailed and evidence based. One of the best courses I have ever taken. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their strength and conditioning knowledge.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the sports medicine/performance world who is looking to broaden their knowledge whether they are new to the field, or they are a 20 year vet. Dr. Ram is very knowledgeable, friendly, and you can feel his enthusiasm when he lectures. Great course!

More than words can describe. Coach Ram, thanks for putting this course together. Sharing your professionalism and years of education to deepen the understanding of the collective is an act of service many are unwilling to embark upon. I appreciate you for answering the call.

I am incredibly happy and want to express my appreciation with APC mentorship! Have attending many courses, but in this one you will be able to acquire adequate knowledge and hear about elite level S&C experiences which will tremendously help you in growing as a professional and in elevating you on your carrier path. It is intense 8 weeks mentorship with Dr. Ramsey Nijem, who did amazing job putting together a course, that feels like being back to college, just you go though most relevant, updated and to the point, facts and knowledge. This mentorship is also unique since Dr. Ramsey is approaching to each member as a individual, you are always able to reach out and ask what ever you have issue with, need extra explanation, he will promptly reply. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to accelerate in his career path!

When joining the APC Certification, I only heard about it from a former co-worker and I heard nothing but the best about it as he attributed it to his success and reaching his ultimate goal of reaching the NBA as a strength coach. With that in the back of my mind I new after moving into the private sector I needed to continue my education and learn from the best to become the best version of myself as a coach. I couldn't have imagined the amount of information that we covered in 8 week and as someone that has struggled in the past with scientific research articles & actual application of the information I can finally say I have added that skill to my toolbox. Also Coach Ram has a gift with being able to make the information digestible and relatable for everyone. Having the recordings has also been a huge plus, due to time differences and schedule conflicts for all of the calls. All in all, it is a must for all coaches, trainers and anyone looking to work with athletes!

This is a great course with extremely valuable content that you would usually have to go through a university or higher education to receive. This course is so worth it and invaluable to advance your career in an ever-growing, fast paced field of S&C and sports science. If you are a younger coach, invest in yourself and take this course, you won't regret it!

The value I have gleaned from this course far exceeds its price. Coach Ramsey is a person who truly cares for the industry, bettering those around him, and serving the athletes he works with. Cannot recommend this enough to other coaches!

Initially, I hesitated to enroll in this course, uncertain about the benefits it would bring. However, upon Coach Ram’s advice to invest in myself, I took the leap. This program not only imparted valuable knowledge but also provided a supportive community and valuable networking opportunities. Undoubtedly, choosing to take this course was the best decision I’ve made especially from a physical therapist’s perspective.

The APC Course I found very beneficial because it challenged me as a professional. In addition, explained content in a way in which I found applicable to my current work as a sports performance coach. Ramsey puts such great effort in answering questions, explaining complex information in ways that others can understand. Overall, this is the best course I have taken and highly recommend it to any coach who is looking to grow as a professional!

This course took me to the next level of S&C coach career !!!

Really loved being able to complete this course on my own time. It's set up in a manner so that, even though my schedule changed tremendously during the time I started the course, I was still able to watch the videos and complete the course at my own pace. The only downside of that is I wasn't able to connect with other coaches in the cohort since I was going at own pace. But I really loved all the information I attained through the course. It organized everything I'd learned in S&C in a matter that made it easier to understand and apply.

Love the course. By far the biggest benefit I've received from enrolling in the cohort is the ability to have everything curated in one course organized so well. I appreciate being able to go back and review material and have a lot more confidence in setting up a program for my clients.

Honestly, one of the best online courses I have taken. There is so much information available and I’ve found almost all of it applicable as a physical therapist. I would definitely recommend it to colleagues.

Dr. Nijem has put together a well thought out experience for professionals in Performance Coaching. Each of the topics are relevant to today's coaches and the research based approach provides valuable background to the applied practices. I think the course is valuable for novice coaches looking to reach a higher level and experienced coaches to stay current in best practices.

In this profession it's not hard to come across knowledge or even practical application of good, evidence-based athletic development but what is hard to find is true WISDOM. The APC course by Dr. Ramsey Nijem anchored on real experience at the highest level to perfectly compliment the wealth of information and opportunity to fellowship via the cohort of dozes of coaches, practitioners, and therapists. Ram is an excellent facilitator and has sacrificed a ton to make this course what it is, pure gold!

Coach Ramsey has been a great mentor and teacher during our course. He shares a lot of knowledge and has built an amazing community for coaches looking to get better at their craft!

Fantastic course! This course provides you with the tools needed to be successful.

The material covered in APC is applicable a relevant to current industry needs for all coaches and athletes. The information is refined and focused, and as a coach I couldn’t ask for more in a course given how saturated the industry can be with misleading or inaccurate teachings. APC is legit a gold standard course all performance/strength professionals can benefit from.

Shaun Correia, PT, DPT Since graduating in 2023, I have pursued numerous continuing education opportunities, but Dr. Ramsey’s six-week course has been by far the most impactful. It significantly increased my confidence in applying evidence-based strength and conditioning principles to help patients achieve their goals in physical therapy. The course is exceptionally thorough, providing valuable research articles, presentations, and practical concepts that can be immediately integrated into clinical practice to enhance both efficiency and precision in clinical decision-making. I highly recommend this course to any clinician looking to strengthen their knowledge and application of strength and conditioning.

I took this certification to align myself with my purpose as a professional. My dream is to be a Strength & Conditioning Coach and taking this Applied Performance course has helped me align myself in my dreams and has given me a lot of knowledge. Thank you Ramsey for everything you have done, because this course has given me a lot of information and has opened the doors in my knowledge.

As a young performance coach early in my college education, this course was the perfect blend of high-level information that was still accessible and easy to understand. Ramsey's engaging lecturing style and content delivery made the challenging course load both enjoyable and manageable. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking comprehensive knowledge on a wide range of strength and conditioning topics and applicable coaching principles.

Thanks Ramsey, This course was great! The best part of the course is that you can apply most if not all of the modules. If you treat athletes or even general population I highly recommend this course!

As a Sports Physical Therapist, this course has been great to help me understand how I can integrate performance into rehabilitation, and be on the same page with strength coaches. The topics covered including VBT, periodization, SAQ, ACWR, return to performance, and leadership helped me grow as a clinician and as a person. The best thing about APCC are the group calls with live lectures to recap the research & material covered throughout the week. They help learn from others in the cohort and provide a deeper understanding into the insight of coaching high level athletes. A highly recommend this course to anybody that wants to expand their knowledge about performance enhancement and work in college / pro athletics.

The APC certification & mentorship program is in a league of it's own. Coach Ramsey does an exceptional job covering a extensive course load in an accelerated 6 week format. The course provides an ideal balance between evidence-based practices drawn from relevant literature, practice-based evidence from Coach Ramsey's experience at both the professional and collegiate levels, & valuable frameworks for coaching and career progression. It also cultivates a sense of community through engaging course modules and weekly lectures from Ramsey & other experts in the field. I highly recommend this course.
