WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
The Olympic Lifts have become synonymous with high-level performance and conditioning. As a result it would be very difficult to find a top level sports person, regardless of their field of endeavour, who has not trained in the Snatch, Clean or Jerk.
The Olympic Lifts are excellent for developing speed, acceleration, coordination and power - components of fitness that are highly sought after. However, it is not just elite athletes who can benefit from learning and training in the Olympic Lifts, everybody with an interest in fitness can benefit from learning the lifts and their progressions. As our industry continues to develop, training methods like weightlifting are fast becoming mainstream.
As the increase in popularity continues, appropriate education is even more important, as trainers start to introduce more clients to weightlifting within fitness programmes. Correct methods and techniques are essential for safe, effective performance and for the results that follow. With correct technique being critical when learning the lifts, coaches need face-to-face education to gain the teaching experience.
By completing the Olympic Weightlifting Instructor Course, you will get the essential skills to learn and develop your own technique, whilst being able to introduce and progress clients through the lifts.
