Who is this course suitable for?
The Level 1 Award in Coaching Weightlifting is designed for those who are new to coaching, but who have some knowledge of the sport of weightlifting and would like to learn how to apply that in a coaching environment. Learners should be committed to their own development and should be looking to gain experience whilst working with a more experienced coach who is already qualified at Level 2 Coaching or higher. Learners will cover an introduction to the processes and principles of coaching weightlifting to adults and children. You will be helped to understand how to effectively assist more qualified coaches, and design individual training sessions.
Module Embedded Practical Content
All practical content related to the award is already delivered in your Strength and Conditioning Coaching module. It is essential therefore that you attend all resistance training and weightlifting practical sessions within the module should you wish to gain this award.
The practical content covered includes the BWL Teaching Method which gives Assistant coaches the tools they will need to guide a complete beginner to execute the Olympic lifts competently. The BWL Teaching Method covers a number of exercises that support learning for the Snatch, Clean and Jerk. These teaching exercises will also double up as commonly used assistance exercises, meaning coaches will get an early insight into how weightlifting derivatives can be applied. Additional strength training exercises, including the Back Squat, Press and Dead Pull will also be covered.
Additional E-learning
You will conduct additional e-learning which integrates the new BWL Technical Model and the latest insights from the BWL Performance Team. The length of this e-learning course is approximately 12-16 learning hours. All assessments for the award are then conducted solely online. This is independent to module learning, therefore please be prepared to do this in addition to all module learning.
