Ursula’s Art of Coaching Weightlifting

We are thrilled to welcome Ursula back to Eastside to teach her Art of Coaching Weightlifting seminar! This course consists of 14 hours of instruction over 2 days, providing an in-depth explanation on identification of errors common in executing the lifts and the specific prescription of exercises that will alter movement patterns and timing. The seminar includes a review of lift progressions, a variety of lift related and supplementary exercises, and discussion on Russian versus Bulgarian training methods. This course is intended for both new and experienced coaches, as well as athletes looking to improve their technique. There will be plenty of hands on lifting throughout the course. There will also be an optional Friday Night Lights Max Out lifting session on the evening before the course with Ursula coaching (registration separate on EventBrite).
