Female Olympic Weightlifters

Not many books are available in the market of the weightlifting world to guide coaches on how to help female weightlifters, and lonely female weightlifters who don’t have a coach. Since I moved to the UK, I have had the chance to coach 1350 young and junior lifters in over 28 schools and my 6 clubs in 5 different London boroughs, of which half of them were female and I learnt how to deal with female lifters and educate myself to give my best knowledge to help them find their best. Since I became chief coach of the Odisha high performance center, I have worked hard to update my knowledge up to the world standard of a coach who deals with 40 lifters at the same time, 24 hours a day. I am still learning and would like to pass on what I learn to others from my 35 years of coaching and lifting experience. I have also written another book about how to coach at weightlifting competitions called How to win Olympic Weightlifting Competition.

Kazem Panjavi’s experience as an Olympian (1992 Barcelona), representing Iran and national record holder (140.5kg + 175kg= Total 315kg in 70kg category), and his experience as a national coach in the United Kingdom, Iran and India, and his connections with the coaches worldwide will be an asset. Kazem has trained over 1800+ athletes worldwide and from his experience, he apprehends that providing lifters with technical training right from the beginning reduces the work when they become elite lifters.

Kazem aims to educate coaches who are working with beginners and intermediary level lifters and especially those who work with female lifters. With the latest scientific methods and the latest trends in the world, he has made sincere efforts to make all the information handy. He has attempted to provide all the technical data and features of the current trends in a single book as very few books are available having all the information in one place.
