What is the Coach Development System?
The coach development system is a comprehensive educational course designed to help people develop the principles and skills required to become a world-class powerlifting coach. If you’re looking at becoming a strength coach, this course will show you what’s required to provide the best possible outcome for your clients, backed by years of testing and application.
This Powerful Coaching System Is Divided Up Into 3 Modules
PRINCIPLE MODULE
In the first module, we delve deep into the principles that drive strength training. We start by looking at the principles of the 3 main power-lifts –squat, bench press and deadlift, as well as the concept of stability. This involves an in-depth discussion into the biomechanical rules of each lift, as well as observing those principles in action via video analysis.
Following that, we look at the principles of programming, including broader programming concepts, specific fazes and accessory work.
COACHING MODULE
The second module is about translating principles into action. This means taking the principles and learning the best way to apply them in an overarching coaching system. By taking a systematic approach based on defined principles it allows students to develop a deeper understanding of the complete coaching paradigm, meaning they can solve almost any problem.
POWERLIFTING MODULE
The final module is all about powerlifting. In this module, we revisit the concepts of technique and programming in the specific context of the sport of powerlifting. We look at what it takes to coach powerlifters to every level, from beginner to the elite, in every aspect, including mindset, game-day strategy, the role of equipment, fatigue and recovery, weight cuts, and common injuries and set backs.This module is optional, as we understand that with strength coach training and education, not every coach has a vested interest in powerlifting.
HOW WILL THIS SYSTEM BE DELIVERED?
The course is delivered weekly via video calls in small groups. Each week, the calls are recorded and uploaded to a cloud, so students have access to all of the material.
There is one call per week, lasting for an hour. Written material is provided along the way (where applicable) to support the content of the calls. The process is interactive and iterative, allowing students to immerse themselves in the process and learn to apply their knowledge through frequent questioning in the calls.
The small group environment allows students to connect with others in the industry, from a wide variety of backgrounds and professions. It provides exposure to other ideologies, allowing them to learn to solve problems faster, via a greater exposure to different styles of teaching movement. Students also have access to a private community, where exclusive content is delivered.
