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.

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.
