This week on the World of Sports Performance Podcast we are speaking with Makini "Kiki" Cruickshank. Kiki is the first sports medicine professional we've had on the show, so we hear a new perspective of working in different countries than in previous episodes. Kiki is currently an Athletic Trainer/ Physiotherapist for the NBA Latin America Academy. With a very outgoing personality, Kiki has some great stories from her time in China working with the National Women’s Weightlifting Team as well as the National Team China Hurdles athletes. In this episode we discuss:

• Working with the best Weightlifters in the world
• Gaining the trust of coaches and athletes
• Living in Beijing
• Transitioning to Track and Field
• China’s selection process for specific sports
• Current role at NBA Latin America Academy
