This rigorous course builds on the fundamental principles taught in the L1 and enables participants to provide richer detail in their seeing, diagnosing and correcting of the Olympic Lifts.
Through a mix of lecture and practical breakouts, participants will gain proficiency in diagnosing both successful and failed lifts, using methods such as movement assessment protocols, technical triage, coaching breakouts, as well as video and real time technical analysis of their lifts.
