About The Mentorship
This mentorship program draws upon over a decade of experience in the sport of weightlifting and is dedicated to advancing the art and science of weightlifting coaching.
Since 2014, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including CrossFit enthusiasts, team sport athletes, and weightlifters at both the club and international levels.
Throughout my career, I've wrestled with various training methodologies, striving to encapsulate the passion and principles that drive my weightlifting philosophy into a mentorship program for coaches.
My experience with a range of athlete types has revealed that many of us face similar technical challenges. Addressing these challenges often requires comparable coaching or training interventions. I've come to recognize 'power' as a critical limiting factor for numerous athletes, this perspective acknowledges the intricate relationship between physical attributes and skill development, rather than viewing them in isolation.
Within this 6-week intensive program, you’ll understand the complexities of weightlifting and how to identify and solve common problems through technical coaching and be provided with the knowledge to enhance overall athleticism. Each week of the mentorship will focus on a different aspect of coaching to create a system that considers the components weightlifters need for long-term development.

What Previous Mentees Have to Say...
Ajdin Mujanovic
Strength Coach at Robur S&C
"Biggest takeaway from the course, is let’s out with the old and in with the new. The integration of expansion and compression when looking at Olympic lifting. Fck your couch stretch and foam roll and let’s use load to get you into the skeletal positions we require.
Honestly I had a blast just talking about WL and getting your perspective when it comes to intermediate/advanced lifters and what to fix for them."
Josh O'Leary
Personal Trainer
"Overall I feel a lot more confident with having a well rounded framework on how to coach people and get them from point A to point B rather than just throwing shit at them and hoping it works.
I enjoyed it a lot, the people were really cool and it's good to be a part of a group of great coaches."
Nicholas Nguyen
Chiropractor at Activ Chiropractic
"Thanks for putting an amazing Weightlifting Mentorship together. The weeks flew passed so quickly because it was so enjoyable to go through with different ways to interact with the course.
I really enjoyed being able to practically use the subjects that were focused on each week and discuss them in the live calls to hear the other coaches’ views and experiences. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that would like to understand programming and coaching people through movement not just weightlifting."
Luke Fulham
Weightlifting & CrossFit Coach
"Brandon is not only the brains behind the content but is also a great presenter and teacher. He takes the time to answer your individual questions and makes sure that you get the most out of each session.
It’s a no-brainer to sign up."
Jonathan Santos
Weightlifting Coach
"As a relatively new weightlifting coach (<1 year), this mentorship has helped my confidence grow in programming, plyometrics, comp prep and addressing movement. I feel like my mind has expanded and grown the toolbox to address any issues."
