Nathan Stockley. Insights into working in Chinese Weightlifting and using Olympic Lifts with athletes.

In this podcast I am chatting with Nathan Stockley. Nathan is currently in China working with Chinese Weightlifting in the build up to the Tokyo Olympics. We chat about his experiences there and also simply working in China. Nathan has a Masters qualification in Strength and Conditioning from the University of Edinburgh and has extensive experience in team sports in the UK. We explore topics such as using the Olympic lifts in training athletes and how to introduce the Olympic lifts to the developing athlete. We chat about the debate over whether the Olympic lifts are worth the investment in time in elite and junior settings. Nathan has had an amazing experience working with the best weightlifters in the world in the past 3 years.
