Manage episode 349001794 series 3108877
Hussein Kasim, former strength and conditioning coach for West Ham United FC's academy team and owner of Force: Elite Athletic Performance, joins me to discuss a myriad of topics including:
-The funny story behind how we became "acquainted" (hint: it was not under the friendliest of terms)
-The state of YouTube fitness, how it brought us together, and why neither of us create content or follow anyone on that platform anymore
-Hussein's transition from a career in graphic design to architecture to strength and conditioning
-How to overcome injuries with a psychological and physical approach
-Long-term athlete development and Hussein's tenets to youth strength and conditioning
-Training and nutrition considerations during the month of Ramadan (or anyone that is following a strict fasting protocol)
