"Huge contribution to our field"

Coach Ramsey is an elite performance coach with a rare combination of interpersonal communication skills, mentorship, and research level theory and approach. He is one of the most impressive coaches I have ever met but more importantly is the brotherhood and kinship we share. The APC course is a small piece of his genius but a huge contribution to our field. All of the young up and coming performance coaches who aspire into becoming successful in their coaching journey should invest in their professional development starting with this course.

"High level mentorship"

One of the biggest challenges sport performance coaches face is interpreting and applying emerging research into their programs. APC combines a comprehensive summary of current research related to the most impactful areas of sport performance with high level mentorship and an incredible community of coaches across sports looking to get better. Ramsey has created a much-needed opportunity for coaches at all levels to continue pushing their development.

"Undeniable Passion"

During the time that I have known Ramsey, what sticks out to me is his undeniable passion for helping others and a dedicated pursuit of self-development. These traits are infectious in the way he communicates and interacts with others. I had the privilege of participating in the APC cohort this year and was impressed by the attention to detail. This program is not for the faint of heart, but if you desire to progress yourself in your current role or profession, this is it. Whether you’re an up and coming professional or a seasoned coach, associating yourself with Ramsey and the APC will challenge you to grow. What I appreciate the most is the culture engrained in the program, coaches uplifting and helping one another. Ultimately, this is what it is all about, and you don’t want to miss out.

"Must-have course"

Applied Performance Coach is a must-have course for anyone looking to further their practical education using evidence-based means. Coach Ramsey provides foundational source material on all subject matter with a thought-provoking weekly lecture that welcomes open dialogue among all coaches in real time. There’s high quality, applicable information to be gained for new and veteran coaches alike by joining Team APC.

"Class of his own"

Ramsey is in a class of his own. His combination of knowledge, experience, and class sets him apart from the rest. Whatever this man does needs all your attention and respect.

"Best on the market"

Coach Ramsey has put together the best professional development course on the market. You can tell from the first lecture how passionate he is about helping you develop and that passion is contagious. The course is tough and challenging but you won't find another professional development course that will truly help you become a better coach than this.

"Set the standard"

Dr. Nijem's APC course has set the standard for continuing education. He provides his cohorts with the skills necessary to effectively apply research, leadership, and personal development. As both a coach and educator, Dr. Nijem has given me resources to further bridge the gap between academia and the weight room. I highly recommend this course to any coach, healthcare professional, or clinician to better help athletes.

"Beyond my expectations"

This course went beyond my expectations. In my role as a head athletic trainer, I try to help connect the sports medicine and performance departments. Prior to learning about this course, there seemed to be limited opportunities to grow in this space as an athletic trainer. I am truly thankful for this course because it opened me to new concepts and additional insights to other perspectives when it comes to performance. I have taken so much away from this course and was able to make some great connections while doing so! I can't wait to see what the future holds.

"The best course I've ever taken."

By far the best course I have ever taken. Coach Ramsey will guide you through some of the most important topics of S&C. A must do course if you want to take your craft to the next level.

"Worth every dollar"

This course is the best there is. The topics are covered in depth to cement a strong theoretical understanding and then the lecture really drives home the practical applications and real life ways to apply the theory. Ramsey is incredibly generous with his time and knowledge, even if you can’t make the lectures the recordings make you feel like you were there. On top of that, everyone else in the course is incredibly open and welcoming when you reach out to them. Genuinely sad that the course is coming to an end, worth every dollar.

"A ton of knowledge"

It's a great investment if you are in the S&C world. You will get a ton of knowledge on recent studies and overviews that keeps you up to date in the field. Even though I have a Masters degree this course takes you deeper with a lot of practical applications. Ram is a top class coach and person and he is raising the bar of what a modern day strength coach should be! I'm proud to be the part of the fam

"The best decision I made"

This course is the best decision I have made during my journey as Strength and Conditioning professional. Dr. Ramsey is truly a special person, as it is so evident how much he cares. He truly wants to see his community succeed and will do anything he can to bring others up with him along the ride. I cannot recommend this course enough, as it is a must for anyone looking to exponentially grow in this field.

"The best option"

The APC course is far and away the best option for practical continuing education currently in the field. This course touches on every topic a modern Performance Coach needs to work at a high level. I would recommend it to any coach serious about leveling up!

"There's something here for you"

I cannot say enough positive things about this course. Whether you’re new to coaching athletes or been in the game for 10+ years there is something here for you. This is not a cake walk course- but a throughout, well- rounded overview of all aspects of S&C lead by someone who is clearly passionate about building better practitioners in our field.
