Nick Calhoun: Resilient by Design: Frameworks for Durable Basketball Players

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Nick Calhoun to discuss his framework for building resilient basketball athletes, with emphasis on a case athlete (over 7' tall) who maintained 100% game availability during the last season. Nick Calhoun has been an Assistant Sports Performance Coach at Youngstown State University since 2020. Prior to this position, Calhoun served as a graduate assistant sports performance coach at YSU. In his role, Calhoun works directly with the Penguins' men’s basketball and men’s golf programs, and he was the bowling team's sports performance coach when it won the national championship in 2024. Utilizing technologies such as Kinexon and VALD, Calhoun’s expertise contributes significantly to the physical readiness of student-athletes, helping them excel in their respective competitions. Calhoun holds two master’s degrees from YSU, one in professional communication and one health and human services. Calhoun played basketball at Fairmont State and graduated with his bachelor of science degree in 2017.
