Olympic coach to help lifters
WEIGHTLIFTING
AN Olympic head coach will take the Whitsunday Weightlifting Club under his wing this weekend.
On Saturday the club will host 2012 Australian Olympics' weightlifting coach Miles Wydall for a clinic.
Wydall is an NCAS national level coach with a total of 20 years Olympic weightlifting coaching experience at club, state, national and international level and also assisted the groups at the Glasgow and Delhi Commonwealth Games.
He is currently coaching more than 80 athletes, including eight Australian representatives at Cougars Weightlifting Club in Brisbane, and will bring a wealth of knowledge to the Whitsundays for this weekend's session.
Whitsunday Weightlifting Club coach Leanne Knox, who is a student of Wydall, said members were looking forward to learning from one of the sport's leading minds.
"Whitsunday Weightlifting is very excited to have Miles' wealth of experience to help develop the technique of our lifters," she said.
"In Olympic weightlifting, technical development is the key to progression within the sport and it will be invaluable to have Miles assess our lifters' technical flaws."
