Georgios, sports performance and strength coach

Sports Performance & Strength Coach

Georgios Aggelou

Born and raised in Chalkida, Greece, both of them serve the same purpose from a different perspective.

Georgios, the Director of Performance at Peristeri BC, studies Exercise Physiology at Saint Francis University (PA) and completed his master’s in Strength & Conditioning at Concordia University of Chicago.

For the last 5 years, he has been training some of the best prospects in Greece, like Neoklis Avdalas (North Carolina University) and Vangelis Zougris (Saint Mary’s University), while also assisting the Greek National Team in the 2024 Olympics in France and the 2025 Eurobasket, where Greece won the bronze medal in Latvia.

Prepared the 2019 2020 NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, for his first Season with the Miami Heat.

“…the game of basketball has been very kind to me. I got a D1 scholarship at Saint Francis University (PA), where I was the team captain in my senior year. I played professional basketball in the Greek 1st Division with Aris BC in 2019 and continued my basketball journey for 4 more years. I ruptured my Achilles (2022), and a year later tore my ACL (2023). These career-ending injuries became my motivation to find the reason behind the mechanism that caused them. Since then, a new career has been laid in front of me, and I have been serving the sport I love from a different perspective.

Through science, reason, and cooperation with healthcare providers from different fields (physiotherapists and doctors), I am trying to find solutions to problems that otherwise would keep my athletes away from reaching their potential…

Kosmas is a great coworker, scientist, but above all, a great friend. That’s why this thing works!”

Strength, preparation and athlete development

Kosmas, physiotherapist and rehabilitation specialist

Physiotherapist & Rehabilitation Specialist

Kosmas Kouvaras

Kosmas completed his BSc in Physiotherapy in Athens and started his clinical journey in Bologna, Italy.

After returning to Athens, he worked for 4 years in a musculoskeletal-specific clinic, where he contributed several publications, with Blood Flow Restriction Training being the main topic of interest. Wanting to further his understanding and expertise in the musculoskeletal system, he enrolled in the OMPT education program by IFOMPT. His passion to work at the highest level led him to join Peristeri BC and contribute to the design of a high-standard rehabilitation culture. He also owns an exercise-based physiotherapy studio in Athens, helping high-level athletes to achieve their goals.

“…as a track and field athlete and marathon runner, I’ve always been fascinated by the relationship between training load and injury. How much training is too much? How little is too little? Why do injuries occur, and what is the most effective way to recover? These questions have driven my passion since childhood, and I couldn’t imagine a profession better suited to answering them than physiotherapy.

Today, as a sports physiotherapist, I enjoy helping athletes and coaches understand the underlying causes of injuries and guiding them through a safe and effective return to sport. Working alongside Georgios has made this process even more rewarding, allowing us to provide a truly holistic approach to rehabilitation. Evidence-based practice has always been our common ground…”
