I'm a BWL affiliated Olympic Weightlifting Coach with 15+ years of experience. Whether you're picking up a barbell for the first time or stepping onto a competition platform — I'll coach you to be stronger than you thought possible.
I've been coaching for over 15 years — and in that time I've worked with everyone from complete beginners who've never touched a barbell, right through to athletes competing nationally and internationally. No two athletes are the same, and I don't coach them like they are.
My background spans competitive weightlifting and swimming, and I've coached athletes worldwide — from Dubai and Japan to the USA and Ireland. I'm also the founder of OPTILIFT — my coaching method that underpins everything I do.
"I became a coach to inspire people to find out exactly how strong they can get — mentally and physically. So what are you waiting for?"
Wherever you are in the world, there's a way to train with me. Pick the pathway that fits where you are right now.

After 15 years of coaching, I put everything that consistently gets athletes results into a single system — OPTILIFT. Three pillars, one purpose: help you lift better, get stronger, and perform when it counts. It's the foundation behind every programme I write, every athlete I coach, and the community we're building around it.

This is exactly what coaching is for.
Most people who struggle with their lifting aren't lacking effort or commitment. They're missing the right direction — and there's a big difference between the two.
I've been coaching Olympic Weightlifting for 15+ years — from athletes who've never held a barbell to lifters on the competition platform. I've seen every version of stuck, and I know how to get people moving again.
Whether you're starting from zero or chasing a PB you've been after for two years, coaching gives you the direction, the accountability, and the technical eye you can't get training on your own.
