Developing physical qualities and reducing injury risk in-seaon in the NBA players with Ramsey Nijem (Head Performance and Strength & Conditioning Coach at the Sacramento Kings)

Ramsey has spoken at a number of events over the summer on the topic of training load monitoring in the NBA so I thought it would be great to build on hem insights in a podcast. He has recently completed his doctorate on the same subject and it was great to get his insights into the NBA. Enjoy.
