How the Orlando Magic players reach peak performance

Inspiring Wholeness

“The court is the gold standard,” says Arnie Kander, Orlando Magic vice president of player performance and wellness. “My job is to make them (Orlando Magic players) the best version of themselves as they step onto the wood.”
In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, presented by AdventHealth in partnership with the Orlando Business Journal, Kander joins Dr. Harrison Youmans, sports medicine physician with Rothman Orthopaedics at AdventHealth and Orlando Magic team physician, to talk player performance and sports medicine.
“We try to take everything we learn at the professional level and extrapolate that out to our patients,” Youmans says.
