There is no better candidate to delve into injury prevention and mitigation than the man often credited with saving Steph Curry’s ankle.

Also on the agenda were:

• How the stress of a season can affect movement quality, tissue quality, and range of motion [14:00];
• The often misunderstood elements of load management [17:00];
• Keke’s jump from the world of sport into the tech space [31:20];
• Why he believes the next performance frontier will be in player development [34:30].
