Online Olympic Weightlifting Coach
How does it work?
I provide online coaching to athletes of any performance level, including complete beginners. Online coaching comes in two forms, direct (in real time) and indirect (see below). My service includes a training program tailored to your needs, access to a vast library of learning resources, and quality feedback and advice on all matters related to Olympic Weightlifting.
I help people who live in isolated locations who would otherwise have no access to an experienced Weightlifting coach. I invite you to experience a high-quality education and training service, where my goal is to help you enjoy the wonderful world of Olympic Weightlifting and learn far more than you might expect.
Apart from my coaching credentials (see below), I am a prolific author of education resources for coaches and athletes in Olympic Weightlifting.
Direct Coaching
Direct coaching means 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 am currently coaching people in North America, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and Australia. You will require an internet connection, WiFi, a mobile phone, a tripod, and earbuds. Even when coaching people on the opposite side of the world, vision is clear, and there is virtually no delay in sound. You will find that your training sessions are packed with tuition, not just on technique, but also on the science of skill development, physical adaptation, performance psychology, injury prevention, and principles of training. A training program to suit your needs is part of this service.
Indirect Coaching
If you cannot train in a facility with internet and WiFi, don’t despair. You can record and submit videos for analysis, book video conferences with me, and access a library of videos on exercises, skill drills, and technique concepts and resources on my website. You will also receive a training program to suit your needs.
I will provide you with feedback in your very own online coaching log and when you book a video conference. The feedback will come in the form of narrated videos, text, pictures, illustrations, and diagrams. I have a huge range of education resources to share. Video conferencing to discuss training-related matters is also available.
