118 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine EDUCATION among coaches in the Central Valley. Built from a team of physicians, allied healthcare professionals, and sports scientists, the academy provides comprehensive education on the scientific principles underlying various sports and functional medicine disciplines. In order to better support students and enhance coaches’ understanding of the principles underlying their sports, the academy operates on a non-profit model. Through this platform, Mr. Baptiste aims to secure greater funding for the provision of sporting equipment and to offer educational guidance to students recovering from training injuries. Mr. Baptiste is committed to continuing to grow the Central Valley Academy of Sports Science and nurturing the skills and health of the athletes it serves. With this goal in mind, he is pursuing further education in sports psychology at Grand Canyon University, with the goal of completing a master’s degree in athletic training and a PsyD. Randi R. Baptiste has excelled as a podiatrist and sports medicine provider for more than 20 years of international practice. Born in the United Kingdom, he attended the University of Bedfordshire, graduating with a Bachelor of Applied Science in sports and exercise in 1987. As an established sports therapist, he subsequently pursued specialist training, earning a degree in podiatric medicine at University College London in 2006. Before relocating to the United States, Mr. Baptiste enjoyed many years of successful sports medicine practice. After immigrating, he faced challenges due to differing educational requirements for medical providers and pursued a pedorthist certification, specializing in the biomechanics of the foot and ankle. This alternative licensure allowed him to build a new practice assisting patients in managing acute and chronic conditions of the foot, ankle and lower extremities. In 2020, Mr. Baptiste established the Central Valley Academy of Sports Science to meet the growing demand for expertise in sports science RANDI R.
