Dr. Erik Korem enters his second season with the New York Jets as the team's director of player performance. Throughout his nearly 20-year career spanning the NFL, college football, and work with Olympic medalists, Korem has helped pioneer the use of athlete wearables while modernizing the way teams approach sports science.

Korem has played a key role in Phase II of the renovation of the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, highlighted by the creation of a reimagined player performance center designed to support every aspect of player health, performance, and recovery. Once complete, the space will extend beyond a traditional weight room into a fully integrated performance ecosystem, expanding by 250% and maximizing on-field performance through advanced training and technology with an emphasis on injury prevention, recovery optimization, and return-to-play advancements.

Prior to joining the Jets, Korem was the CEO & Founder of AIM7, a simple and powerful app that turns wearable technology into ultra-personalized solutions for health and fitness. He developed a passion for transforming data into actionable insights to provide athletes with customized exercise and wellness recommendations that help prevent burnout, excessive fatigue, and promote rapid and sustainable fitness gains.

Korem got his start in the NFL as the Director of Sports Science for the Houston Texans, where he implemented the first sports science program in team history. Before that, he served on Coach Jimbo Fisher's staff at Florida State (2010-13), helping the Seminoles win their first ACC Championship in seven years.

Throughout his career, Korem has helped NFL, college, and Olympic athletes achieve their goals through expert guidance on performance optimization. He most notably supported eight-time Olympic medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown, who became one of just three women ever to win the 200m gold medal in back-to-back Olympics.

In 2019, he was selected as a member of the class of Presidential Leadership Scholars, a first-of-its-kind program run by the Presidential Centers of George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Lyndon B. Johnson.

A former walk-on football player at Texas A&M, Korem graduated with a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology. He later earned his master's degree in Exercise Science from the University of Arkansas and his Doctorate in Exercise Science from the University of Kentucky.

A Texas native, Korem and his wife, Hayle, of 16 years have three boys, Cooper, Connor, and Carter.
