Coach Certification Program Level 2 - Lawrence, Kansas
2025-05-31 00:00 | Barbell Strength Weightlifting, 710 E 22nd Street, Lawrence, KS, 66046, United States
The USPA Level 2 Coach Course takes your coaching skills to the next level with a dynamic blend of in-depth digital content and hands-on, in-person coaching. Building on the strong foundation of Level 1, this course brings the learning experience to life with practical application, ensuring you gain the essential experience that only live coaching can provide. This hybrid program includes a few hours of bonus digital content and an immersive in-person coaching experience focused on real-world scenarios and critical skills for guiding athletes through every stage of their powerlifting journey.

At Level 2, you’ll dive even deeper into the essentials of programming, exercise selection, and effective athlete communication. Led by Kyle Young, USPA’s Director of Education and Head Coach for Team USA under the IPL, this course empowers you with the insights, experience, and skills needed to support lifters at every level. Our extensive background and dedication to excellence ensure that each lesson delivers value, whether it’s refining your athlete’s technique or developing training programs that promote long-term athletic growth.

A major component of Level 2 is the intensive focus on meet-day preparation, where you’ll gain insights into nuanced strategies for handling athletes in competition settings. With real-world guidance, you’ll be prepared to master all the essential details, from optimizing warm-up strategies and handling unexpected issues to building confidence in your athletes. These crucial skills allow you to create a supportive and results-driven environment, positioning both you and your athletes for success on the platform.

The course also emphasizes the technical breakdown of competition lifts, where you’ll spend the second part of the day addressing lift setups, common movement flaws, and corrective strategies for optimal performance. This experience is more than just form refinement; it’s a practical application of sound programming principles and long-term development tactics to ensure your athletes are positioned to make steady, and continued progress. With the tools from this course, you’ll be able to effectively diagnose and address issues in real time, maximizing your coaching impact and supporting lifters’ continuous improvement.

While Level 1 is not a requirement to enroll in Level 2, both levels must be successfully completed for full USPA Level 2 Coach registration. This flexibility allows you to take each course at your own pace and in any order, ensuring you can continue advancing your coaching credentials on your own schedule. Additionally, Level 2 provides an excellent opportunity to bring a coaching partner or friend, as there is no prerequisite to attend, making this a valuable experience for coaches at any stage in their journey.
