How many people actually lift and train athletes?

[chris30]

Here is my opinion

There seems to be a core group of world class coaches here. Their input and contributions are invaluable

I also really like hearing from the athletes themselves and reading about how their training is going, what works for them, how they deal with injury and how their PBs are progressing.

I come from the athlete side (varsity/provincial level) with some coaching background but nothing serious.

I joined this forum to learn and to share information with others so that they can avoid some of the traps I fell into when I was younger.

This is a big community of athletes and coaches, that is why it’s so interesting

Cheers,
Chris

After reading all of these posts,it would seem that the best coaches are able to blend the “art” of coaching with the “science” of training. Would that be an acceptable answer?
