What does it really mean to perform better?
In this episode of KIMEcast, Tony Mikla and Russ Dunning sit down with KIME Fit Lead Coach Jamal Albini to talk about training, competition, coaching, and the relentless pursuit of getting better.
Jamal shares the experiences that shaped his approach to performance—from working with professional and youth athletes to discovering just how meaningful strength can be for someone simply trying to move better and live independently.
The conversation explores why more training isn't always better, the problems with year-round specialization in youth sports, why recovery and adaptation matter, and how intelligent programming can build stronger, more resilient people without simply beating them into the ground.
They also dive into Jamal's background as a high-level competitive martial artist and the mindset that continues to drive him today: Get better.
Because performance isn't reserved for professional athletes. Whether the goal is running faster, getting stronger, moving without pain, staying healthy, or simply doing the things you love for as long as possible—everyone has something they are training for.
This is the vision behind KIME Fit: bringing the principles of high-performance training to everyday people and creating a connected system where physical therapy, performance, fitness, and human development work together.
Train with purpose. Find the limiting factor. Get better.
