Olympic Weightlifting

Over-Coaching Over-coaching is an easy mistake to make in consideration of the volumes of detailed information existing regarding the lifts. The coach must remain disciplined and provide the athlete what is needed, resisting the urge to delve into details for which the athlete is not ready and consequently cannot use productively. This kind of over-coaching can be a product of the coach’s desire to impress with his or her knowledge, but at least as often, it’s simply the result of the coach’s eagerness to achieve progress with the athlete. Unfortunately, overwhelming the athlete with information he or she doesn’t yet have the experience to apply is often counterproductive. (Location 312)
