One of the the biggest blocks preventing athlete's and coaches from achieving their training goals is the prevalence of injury to the lumbar spine.   Pandemic in weight training populations, injury to the lumbar spine can delay training, end a season and perhaps even a career. 

This course is designed to equip coaches with all of the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively and safely train their athletes so as to maximize performance with minimal risk of injury to the lumbar spine.
