I have recorded hundreds of fascinating interviews with world-leading weightlifting guests over the last four years. However, there has always been a limitation to the amount of depth we can go into during an off-the-cuff style podcast.
In 2021, I feel that weightlifting coaches need a space where we can have much deeper, more practical, more cutting edge conversations. Areas can then be addressed which can’t be reached during a podcast. By giving the lecturers several months to prepare these highly targeted presentations aimed specifically at coaches, the quality of information is unlike anything else we’ve ever seen in weightlifting.
I genuinely mean it when I say that Coaches Only is the best thing to ever happen for weightlifting coaches.

Spencer Arnold is an American Open champion and multiple-time national medalist in his own right but has since become known for his work with such athletes as Harrison Maurus, Jourdan Delacruz and Morghan King. His focus on data makes his approach ideally suited to the kind of remote coaching that many of us are now involved in, whether by choice or necessity.
Spencer explained the data he collects on athlete performance and how he uses that to inform programming, with real examples from his work with World-level athletes.
