Send us Fan MailIn 2011, India won the Cricket World Cup after a long wait of 28 years.  11 players made 1.3 billion people rejoice.  My next guest was the Strength and Fitness coach of this team. What a dream job to have! Ramji Srinivisan is a Strength & Conditioning Coach who has trained the who’s who in the sports world:  -the world’s best cricket players like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli, -Narain Kartikeyan in the Super Formula Grand Prix in Japan -and many rising stars in tennis, badminton, sailing, fencing and other sports. Given the pandemic last year decimated the fitness industry by closure of gyms, it has also led to an increased interest in personal fitness and wellbeing, which could very well see a major revival and exponential growth of careers in this sector in 2021. The rise of fitness at home through companies like Peloton, Gymshark & Echelon is just one indicator of the growing demand. Consequently, these days Ramji is in very high demand, so I was excited for him to come to the podcast and share with us his career journey.In this conversation, Ramji shares:- How he made a career pivot at the age of 29 under challenging personal circumstances- How he open up a fitness center and got his first client: a famous tennis player- How he got hired as the strength and fitness of the Indian cricket team- How he trained this team to win the Cricket World Cup in 2011- Some juicy tidbits about the leadup to the big day- The future of the health and fitness industry- and so much more.Don't miss the episode!Follow Ramji on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramji-srinivasan-a728a16/Ramji's fitness company: http://www.sportsdynamix.in/Hope you the show, and please leave a great review on Apple Podcasts, as it would mean a lot to me and hopefully help others discover this Job Seeker's resources! https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/how-i-got-hired/id1536817985  And finally, connect with me on LinkedIn, I'd love to hear from you: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonalbahl/Visit my site to learn more about me:https://www.superchargeyourself.com/
