By the end of this course, you will (1) perform Olympic lifts safely and effectively and (2) apply their power-building principles to improve strength, speed, and athletic performance. Taught by elite performance coach Mike McGurn—who has trained world-class athletes from the Irish National Rugby Team, New Zealand All Blacks, Everton FC, and more—this course provides a clear, progressive approach to mastering the Clean and Snatch. You’ll learn how Olympic lifts develop total-body power, coordination, and explosiveness through targeted video demonstrations, practice guidance, and strength programming insights. The course stands out for its focus on translating elite-level performance science into accessible, evidence-based coaching techniques suitable for all levels of athletes and fitness professionals. Participants will leave confident in teaching and applying Olympic lifts to elevate performance in the gym, on the field, and beyond.

By the end of this course, you will (1) design progressive, periodized strength programs and (2) apply the science of resistance training to optimize athletic performance. This comprehensive course with Dr. Jason Miller delivers a science-based understanding of resistance training — from its historical roots to advanced movement applications. Learners explore the evolution of strength development, foundational terminology, and how different training modes (free weights, machines, bands, and bodyweight) can be safely adapted for any population or goal. Through practical and theoretical modules, the course explains how muscle mechanics, neuromuscular recruitment, and the stretch–shortening cycle determine strength, power, and performance outcomes. By the end, students will be able to design goal-specific programs grounded in biomechanics and physiology, apply structured progressions across key movement patterns, and optimize results through evidence-informed strategies. This course bridges the gap between academic theory and practical training design—making it invaluable for coaches, therapists, and professionals seeking to elevate both performance and safety in resistance-based programs.
