In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Director of Performance Services at Nike, Keith D'Amelio. Keith was recommended to me via Blake Maclean, previously at OKC Thunder and now at UTS and I am glad he did. This chat with Keith was excellent and gave us a great insight into what's going on in a niche of the industry that many people don't know about. Keith was Head S&C Coach at Toronto Raptors in the NBA and before that worked for the Celtics, so we dived into those experiences as well as what he is doing at Nike and how working with lots of athletes from lots of sports has helped him develop.

I hope you enjoy this episode with Keith D'Amelio.
