Scott Robinson
Having competed and coached many sports and been involved with so many talented people at all levels, I have gained a unique perspective of athletes from the very beginning of an athlete learning technique, to the seasoned professional with decades of experience. Everyone has a story and you can learn from everyone. Olympic weightlifting is a sport that helps every other sport become faster, stronger and more powerful. Once you can do it, you have it for life.
