Online Olympic Weightlifting Coach

Online Coaching Service Options
Lionel (Leo) Isaac, Coach and Author

How does it work?

Online coaching is provided to athletes of any performance level including complete beginners by direct and indirect means (see below). My service includes the provision of a training program suited to your needs and 24/7 support. I help people who live in isolated locations, or have no access to an experienced Weightlifting coach. Apart from my coaching credentials (see below), I am a prolific author of education resources for coaches and athletes in Olympic Weightlifting.

Direct Coaching

I am with you during your training session, see everything you do, and I talk to you as if I were standing next to your training platform. Modern telecommunication technology is a wondrous thing. You will be surprised how well this works and I have coached people in four different continents by this method. You will require internet, WiFi, mobile phone, and tripod. We may be at opposite ends of the Earth, but I will see you well. Video conferencing to discuss training related matters is also available.

Indirect Coaching

I am not with you during your training session but you record video of your peformances and share them with me via the cloud. I provide you with feedback in your very own coaching log. My entries may be text, pictures, illustrations, diagrams and/or video. I have a huge range of education resources to share. Video conferencing to discuss training related matters is also available.
