Coaching Weightlifting Illustrated

Coaching Weightlifting Illustrated provides a best-practice process for learning Olympic Weightlifting. The book grew from four decades as a coach and three decades as a coach educator, helping athletes and coaches step into the real world of Olympic Weightlifting. Whether a newly accredited coach has a background as a competitive Weightlifter or not, teaching beginner athletes can be daunting. It takes a new coach time to acquire the tools of the trade and practise their coaching skills. This book fills this gap in Weightlifting literature.

For coaches and athletes alike, the book delves deeply into the science of Weightlifting technique. It teaches readers how to design training sessions and build a skill-development process. In coaching, knowledge is power, and this book sheds new light on what it means to be a Weightlifting coach and on the professional development process.

This book contains extensive research. It provides accurate illustrations instead of photographs, which helps readers identify key elements of skill. Illustrations cut away background clutter and can often be manipulated to show correct and incorrect positions.
