The Art of Coaching Weightlifting is a Coaches' Seminar and Clinic is
a 14 hour course over 2 plus days. It is not just another course in
progressions but comprehensive lessons in coaching and teaching
methodology to give you the tools to be a better coach now. The
course covers everything from teaching beginners and
movement assessment to a comparative of the most common progressions
taught today. Furthermore, we review how to integrate them into a
program for teaching beginners and beyond. This course is not an
argument in semantics; it IS a course that provides complete
conceptual understanding of the lifts with full explanations of how
and why. It includes a section on error identification and which,
how, and why exercises are used for correction of different errors.
It concludes with a lecture and discussion on Bulgarian versus
Russian programming.
