QWA Weightlifting Coaches
Shaping the future of weightlifting
At competitions, coaches are as much a part of the action as the weightlifters are, making calculated decisions to provide their athletes with their best chance of achieving success.
COACHING MEMBERSHIPS
Coaching weightlifting is a satisfying and rewarding activity, guiding athletes through a planned system of training which is designed to improve their skills and develop their strength and power.
QWA offers coaching memberships, with subsidised fees available to coaches with 5 or more QWA-registered lifters.
To begin coaching, enquire at your local weightlifting club.
