They have biomechanists, data scientists, psychical therapists, and strength coaches helping athletes. Plus, P3 is known to use advanced technologies to help athletes.
This is why Jokic went to them, his basketball was fine, but his body was not. The Joker revamped his diet, dropped the Coke habit, and started to form into the player we all know and love.
Jokic even admitted that while his basketball game was good, he needed to work on his body seriously.
