British Weightlifting held the first in a series of camps for Scottish athletes at national centre Inverclyde, with the primary aim to strengthen targeted athlete and coach development, concentrating on preparing for the next CWG cycle. This initiative is geared towards enabling Scottish athletes to meet and exceed the comprehensive standards set by British Weightlifting’s pathway guidelines, ensuring their attainment of peak performance in the sport.
sportscotland High performance manager, Aileen McGilvary commented “There is a strong feeling of a wind of change for weightlifting in Scotland and a new generation of lifters are hungry to listen and perform. Residential training camps at the national centre helps them feel more professional and focussed for the next cycle.”
We caught up with John McEwan, Head Coach at Weightlifting Scotland and some of the athletes on the squad, to find out about their recent camp in December.
