EWF is ecstatic to be able to continue the youth weightlifters’ training camp.
Next week will see the start of the popular European Youth training camp, Konya, Türkiye 13th – 20th of August.
A maximum capacity of 14 Federations will be in attendance with 40 athletes, 20 boys and 20 girls 13 -17 years, and their 23 coaches.
Emphasis will also include building friendships while encouraging sharing and learning from each other.
Each day will start with morning outdoor mobility and movement exercises followed by two gym training sessions in the morning and afternoon.
Each evening Coaching and scientific lectures for the coaches will take place. An Anti-Doping education program will take place for athletes and coaches.
Lead coaches and presenters will be from the EWF, IWF, Türkiye Federation, and Türkiye NADO.
The EWF CR&SC will work closely with the IWF CRC and for the first time will see the delivery of the IWF Club Coach Level 1 program for the coaches in attendance.
Dr Kyle Pierce, IWF CRC will also prepare the federation coaches for the IWF Level 2 Coach which will be delivered later this year via blended learning.
The camp will be run by Colin Buckley, EWF CRSC Chairman, with assistance from Damjan Canzek, EWF and IWF CR Committee member.
During the camp, the EWF will provide a series of daily short video diaries where the athletes and coaches will share their thoughts and experiences.
Another social platform that will facilitate conversation between weightlifters is the EWF Forum, which will start operating together with the Training Camp.
