Jeremy Koenig on Understanding Your Genome, AI, and the Future of Sports Performance

What does the future of strength and conditioning look like?

Are we still talking in generalities about set, reps and rest periods?

OR are we digging deeper into how each individual’s make-up determines how they should be training and recovering?

Well without giving it away – I definitely think hyper specialization is on the horizon, and that’s why I’m so excited to have Dr. Jeremy Koenig on the show today.

Dr. Koenig is a leader in integrating genomic insights into healthcare, emphasizing ecosystem development for integral business growth.

While he started in the world of high performance, helping Olympians make better training decisions based on their genetic code, Dr. Koenig is now deeply committed to personally coaching visionary entrepreneurs who aspire to create a better future.

 

The high performers I’m working with have vision…and getting to that vision is critical, because that’s what gets you through hell. – Dr. Jeremy Koenig
