Coach Wu Jian Lin states that his more senior students have just left and the ones we are seeing now are only about 2-3 years into their training. Each coach at any given time will work with a max of 18 students with students moving on from the program every 4-5 years based on performance. Being able to move on to the national training base from here is dependent on performance and not age.

This first girl lifting showed tremendous consistency during the training session while the coach continued to work with the girl in the corner adjusting her overhead positioning. She has a habit of racking the bar out front and closing up her shoulders instead of staying open and driving it behind her head.

Again, the confidence in which she stays with her athlete through the lift continues to astound me. This is the first time I’ve witnessed a coach stay with an athlete through the entirety of a lift. These coaches are truly masters of their craft.
