BREAK IT DOWN.
PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.
Olympic weightlifting asks for strength, speed, timing and mobility to arrive in the same movement. Coaching makes the learning process less chaotic.
George uses progressions, position work and appropriate variations to help lifters understand what is happening from the floor to the receiving position. The full lifts matter, but so does choosing the drill that addresses the actual problem.
WHAT THE COACHING FOCUSES ON
THE DETAILS THAT
MOVE THE WORK FORWARD.
Coaching turns the broad goal into practical decisions you can repeat, review and progress.
CLEAN.
Build a controlled first pull, connected extension and a stronger receiving position.
JERK.
Improve the dip, drive, footwork and overhead position needed for a stable finish.
FOUNDATIONS.
Use strength, mobility and positional work to support the technical lifts rather than chase them blindly.

Beginners who want to learn the Olympic lifts through clear progressions rather than guesswork.
Strength athletes adding the snatch or clean and jerk to their training for skill or power.
Experienced lifters who want to review positions, timing or a recurring technical breakdown.

PATHWAY FAQ
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN.
Can complete beginners learn Olympic lifting?
Yes. The lifts can be broken into positions and progressions so the learning task matches your current experience.
Do I need to be flexible first?
You need enough movement for the positions being trained, but coaching can identify which ranges matter and select appropriate progressions.
What qualifications does George hold?
George holds AWF Level 1 and 2 credentials and has more than 10 years of coaching experience.
Can a session focus only on the clean or snatch?
Yes. A 60-minute session can focus on one lift, one phase of a lift or the supporting positions you need to improve.
