I’m a private sector strength and conditioning coach and a local high school track team sprints coach. The APC helped me to better understand a lot of key performance metrics and to simplify the path to improving them. The best thing about APC was the Q+A discussions after the live lectures and the way Ramsey made himself available even beyond the live lectures to discuss the contents of the course and anything else performance-related. You can tell he’s very passionate about ensuring each coach gets as much value as possible.

The APC course was amazing. It was comprehensive, challenging, and necessary for my career growth as a S&C coach, researcher, and leader. Thank you Ramsey for the vision to inspire coaches and athletes alike to dive deeper into their purpose.

Hello, my name is Ignacio, I'm a physiotherapist and physical trainer in Argentina, currently working with volleyball players and treating patients in sports rehabilitation and chronic pain. APC is truly one of the most comprehensive training programs I've ever completed. It provides both science and practice, combining the best available evidence with Ram's extensive experience in the field. It covers all the aspects a sports professional needs to know to take their career to the next level. The best thing about APC is the community it fosters around the world. Ram's teaching style and pedagogy are also noteworthy; he's excellent at explaining and simplifying complex topics.

My name is Johan Holmstrom and I work as a Strength and conditioning coach in Brynäs IF, a Swedish icehockey team. The APC course is a really good investment. A great and structured build up that makes it easy to follow and understand. True facts translated to the practical world. I got a lot of new ideas how I can develop my job and hopefully my team.

My name is Georgio Badr, and I’m a certified personal trainer based in Ottawa, Ontario. My formal education is in business, but I fell in love with training after it helped me overcome chronic pain and get back to playing basketball. That experience pushed me toward a mission-driven career: helping athletes reach their full potential. APC has played a huge role in that journey. Before joining, I didn’t feel fully confident coaching athletes at a high level. I had the passion, but I knew I needed the right framework and fundamentals. After following Dr. Ramsey’s content and podcasts for a long time, I knew his course was exactly what I needed. Enrolling in APC has given me a solid foundation in performance coaching and has made me far more confident in the way I assess, program, and work with athletes. I’ve learned a ton—and I know there’s still more to learn—but this course has accelerated my growth more than anything else I’ve taken. The best part of APC is the live cohort experience. Getting to learn directly from Dr. Ramsey, hearing real stories and lessons from his time with the Sacramento Kings and Kansas City Jayhawks, and being surrounded by a community of coaches who genuinely want to improve has been incredibly motivating. It makes the learning feel real, practical, and applicable right away.

My name is Peyton Franklin, and I serve as the Director of Strength and Conditioning at Abilene Christian University, overseeing the men’s basketball program. The APC Course has prompted meaningful reflection on my programming from a holistic perspective, challenging me to refine both my training structures and my day-to-day coaching strategies. I have already implemented several of the course’s concepts, and they have had a tangible impact on the clarity and effectiveness of my program. Coach Ram has done an exceptional job translating research into practical, accessible frameworks. He consistently breaks down complex ideas into simple, actionable components that can be immediately applied in a high-performance environment. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone committed to lifelong learning and dedicated to becoming the best performance professional they can be. Thank you!!

My name is Tredyn Christensen and I work in strength and conditioning. I’m really committed to growing and expanding my knowledge in this field and have honestly found this APC course by Ramsey to be extremely beneficial and impactful for my development. The best thing about this course was how clear, relevant, and relatable it is to my own practice, especially because I primarily work with basketball athletes. You can definitely tell that a lot of time has been put into the course to create something that is very purposeful and applicable.

The APC course has been one of the most valuable coaching investments I’ve made. The curriculum is practical, research-driven and immediately applicable in the real world for coaches of all experience levels. Ramsey makes the content engaging & breaks down research topics better than anyone in the field. Between the live sessions, recorded lectures and community engagement, you feel like part of a high-performing team. Highly recommend for any coach serious about growth and impact.

My name is Alex Samuel, I am a Doctor of Physical therapy working in a sports orthopedic setting. APC and Coach Ramsey have been nothing short of professional and a wealth of knowledge. Coach Ramsey makes hard concepts that we learned in school seem like they can be explained to a 4th grader. I dreaded research in PT school because it was honestly boring. However after finishing APC, Coach Ramsey has made it so entertaining that I look at research must differently now. His experience combined with the experiences of the other coaches in this group has given me tools that I know will transfer over for the rest of my career and help a lot of my patients/athletes. Thank you for pouring into us Ram! You had a huge impact on me

Shannon Jackson, WNBA Performance Coach. I attended Ram’s session at the High Performance Symposium a few years back and he opened with, “I’m a boring strength coach.” The entire talk resonated with who I am as a performance coach, so when he came up with the APC, I signed up looking for substance over sizzle—and that’s exactly what I got. The course is clear, actionable, and rooted in principles you can actually deploy with athletes on Monday morning. No fluff, no “guru” vibes, just a tight framework for assessment, planning, and execution that makes your program more intentional and your results more repeatable. In a profession where everyone wants to program for the “gram”, it’s important to make sure you’re bridging the gap between your athlete’s potential and performance. This course keeps that same energy: simple where it should be, precise where it must be.

The APC course is practical, simply put. There is no fluff, only great quality. Nobody should be on the fence about joining. This is an extremely valuable investment. As a coach, APC pairs research with the tools to apply knowledge and help athletes succeed.

Coach Ram's APC course serves as a foundational backbone that equips you with the tools to continue growing as a clinician, strength coach, AT, or any professional working in performance. True to Ramsey's coaching style, the format is no-nonsense, methodical, and expands on concepts that are rooted in biological and physiological principles to drive adaptations in athletes. While the lectures are excellent, where the course truly holds its weight in gold is in the opportunity to connect with other coaches, PTs, and ATs and to be able to pick Coach Ram's brain on an individual level. Every question asked and discussion led has his full attention and commitment. The value is priceless.

“APC is one of the best courses out there. It teaches you the fundamentals of how to approach the profession from day one. The depth of information, the real-world examples, and the way everything is broken down is something you only get after years in the field. The live calls are loaded with free game, and getting direct access to Coach Ramsey for six weeks is priceless. You walk away with a foundation you can apply immediately and a network of high level professionals!

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.
