Keep It Close

Melissa

I have heard Olympic lifting coaches use the que, "lift your shirt off" to emphasize how close the bar needs to stay to the body in the snatch. Good job, Melissa.

Perfect Chair

Arlo, two-and-a-half years old

Kids squat and deadlift perfectly. Later in life, many kids will stop using this preferred two-legged chair and put their butts in man-made ones. Arlo may lose his stable, flexible and comfortable position. Good thing his parents let him sit in his natural, beautiful squat.

Coach Dahlberg

Brett coaching Lucas through a workout.

There are countless atributes that good coaches have that make them effective. Most simply they need the ability to distinguish good movement from bad, then they need the language and determination to affect change.

Can you spot what Lucas is doing correctly, and then can you identify something to improve his performance?
