Course Description

The Essentials of Youth Weightlifting course covers a range of topics to provide a comprehensive breakdown of information for practitioners who specially coach young people. This includes an introduction to key concepts relating to growth and maturation, which is vital for any practitioner who is working with youth athletes (note that the course details the challenges of solely using chronological age and how coaches can use other measures to be more effective). It covers the practical ways that growth and maturation can be measured alongside guidance on how this information can be used to enhance coaching practice. Practitioners will be given insight into the principles that underpin effective long- term athletic development and guidance on how weightlifting performance can be enhanced by utilising the Youth Physical Development Model. Practitioners will review the methods of monitoring youth performance, with the aim to provide coaches with a better understanding of the potential benefits and considerations that come with using different metrics. The course then delves into injury risk, highlighting principles to help prevent issues such as overtraining and injury.

This online course has no practical assessment. There is an optional online assessment to be completed to receive a BWL certificate.
